How to Turn a Pumpkin into a Vase
Pumpkins make great flower vases. They’re large and sturdy, which means they’re perfect for holding fall flowers! But turning a real pumpkin into a vase can be a messy process. First, you would need to cut the stem off the pumpkin, then remove all the messy seeds and filling.
If you’d rather avoid the mess when making your pumpkin vase, you’re in luck! Transforming a faux pumpkin into a vase filled with faux flowers is so much easier than trying to use a real pumpkin as a vase! To use a faux pumpkin as a flower vase, you don’t need to do any cutting or scooping at all.
The hardest part of turning a faux pumpkin into a vase is removing the stem from the faux pumpkin. To do that, just pull the stem until it comes out of the pumpkin. Then, just add floral foam to the top of the pumpkin and secure it with glue. It really is that simple!
How to Customize This Glitter Pumpkin Vase
There are so many ways you can make this DIY project your own! Here are a few simple ways to customize this glitter pumpkin vase to suit your fall decorating needs:
- Use a different colored pumpkin. Instead of choosing a white faux pumpkin, use an orange, black, or green pumpkin as the base for your vase.
- Add more glitter. If you want your pumpkin to be extra sparkly, cover the entire pumpkin with glitter instead of just the base of the pumpkin as we did here.
- Use a different glitter. There are so many types of glitter, the sky is the limit! Orange, black, silver, or multicolored glitter would all look amazing on your glitter pumpkin vase.
