For a basic pumpkin vase you will need:
- A pumpkin
- Flowers (here the gorgeous Orla bouquet from Bloom & Wild has been used)
- A knife for carving
- A spoon or an ice cream scoop
- Floral foam
Step one
As you usually would, cut a hole in the top of your pumpkin using a sharp knife. If you aren't too confident in your pumpkin carving abilities use a red wipeable marker to draw out the circle first.
If you need any tips on how to carve a pumpkin check out our guide.
Step two
Scoop out the insides using a spoon or an ice cream scoop and then place your wet florist's foam into the middle of your pumpkin.
Step three
Arrange your blooms in the foam, just as you would if you were arranging them in a normal vase. And voila you are all done!!
