How to make a fresh Garden Flower Pumpkin
Pick your fresh flowers
To start this DIY Floral Pumpkin project, first pick the flowers from your garden you are excited about using. Once you have the flowers sitting in water, assess their stem sizes.
My Zinnia stems were a medium size, but up near the base of the flower the stem got much much wider. So, for all the zinnia flowers I ended up using quite a large drill bit.
The cosmo flowers had a very narrow stem from top to bottom, so I selected a much smaller bit for those flowers.
Plan flower locations
I decided to keep all of the larger zinnia blooms up near the stem and top of the pumpkin and then incorporate the smaller cosmo flowers around the middle of the pumpkin. However, you can mix and match your flower locations all over the pumpkin.
This is such a fun and whimsical look there is no wrong flower layout!
Drill holes
As you can see below, after drilling out the pumpkin holes it looks like pumpkin spaghetti spilled all over the place – ha.
Be sure to go slowly and drill until you go through the entire pumpkin thickness, so that the flower stems have somewhere to sit once in your pumpkin.
Installing Flowers in the Pumpkin
Next, you can begin to place your flowers in the pumpkin. I kept my flowers sitting in water until the very last moment to give them all the extra freshness I could.
Don’t be afraid to play around with where each flower goes.
Some flowers will sit better at different angles or look better beside of different colors, feel free to move them around as needed.
