DIY Pumpkin Trio Arrangement

DIY Pumpkin Trio Arrangement
This week our floral designer Tim created a unique Pumpkin Trip Arrangement using our Stacked Pumpkin. This design leaves you with three individual pieces that can be used throughout your home during the Fall season. These could even be designed for Halloween with a few Halloween accents. You can create one of your very own using the steps and supplies listed below
Supplies needed:
- (1) 18" Stacked Pumpkins Garden Decor
- (2) Floral Styrofoam Block
- (1) Vibrant Mixed Fall Satin Ball Mum Floral Bush
- (2) Vibrant Mixed Fall Marigold Floral Bush
- (1) Fall Magnolia Berry Floral Bush
- (1) Fall Leaves Floral Bush
- (1) 44"L Yellow & Brown Pampas Grass Spray
- (1) 26" Burgundy Eucalyptus Leaf Spray
- (1) 2.5" Burlap Poly Mesh Ribbon
- Knife
- Scissors
- Wire Cutters
- Hot Glue
- Floral Wire
- To get started, make sure you have gathered all of your supplies. Feel free to adjust any of the florals or accents we have used to fit your own personal taste.
- With this design you will end up with two fully decorated arrangements and then one decor Pumpkin to use throughout your home. Tim began by taking the Pumpkin Stack apart, removing the stake holding them together and then flipping the two larger pumpkins upside down.
- Next Tim cut one of the Styrofoam blocks in two and then used hot glue to secure them to the inside of the largest pumpkin.
- Now that the Styrofoam has been added, Tim began working on adding the first set of floral bushes. He cut the majority of the stem off of the Vibrant Mums Bush and then placed it in the center of the Styrofoam. He then spread the stems apart to space them evenly throughout the arrangement.
- Next Tim cut apart the Vibrant Marigolds Bush and began to place them throughout the arrangement. He added a bit of hot glue to the end of each stem to help secure it to the Styrofoam.
- Once all of the Marigolds have been added, Tim started adding the Magnolia Leaves Bush. He also cut this bush apart into individual stems and placed them throughout the arrangement.
- Tim then added height to the arrangement by adding pieces of the Fall Leaves Bush and the Pampas Grass Spray. He cut each of these into individual pieces and then placed them throughout the arrangement.
- The final florals that Tim added are the Burgundy Eucalyptus Spray. He cut this stem into separate pieces and then placed them throughout the arrangement. This particular spray added a bit more of the deep purple to the arrangement and helped to break up the orange color.
- To finish off this larger pumpkin, Tim tied a 4 loop bow out of the 2.5" Burlap Mesh Ribbon. He used floral wire to tie the bow and then secure it to the arrangement.
- Once the larger pumpkin was complete, Tim moved on to designing the middle pumpkin. Again, he filled this pumpkin with Styrofoam and used hot glue to secure it.
- Next Tim cut apart the last Vibrant Marigold Bush and began to add them to the Styrofoam. He placed one in the center and then directly across from the center on all four corners. Form there he continued to fill in using the remaining stems.
- To fill in any holes, Tim used the remainder of the Magnolia Leaves Bush. Again, he cut the individual stems off of the Bush and used hot glue to secure them.
- When you have finished adding the Magnolia Leaves Bush to the middle pumpkin you can come to a stopping point. You will have two gorgeous pieces that can be used throughout the Fall season.
