What a great design! Trace your baby’s hands and feet on paper and then use the paper patterns to trace design onto pumpkin and then cut. DO NOT try to use your baby’s hands to trace directly onto pumpkin – your efforts will be fruitless.
Super creative – just cut the top section out of a small gourd or pumpkin. To do this place tea light candle on top and trace the perimeter with a sharpie marker. Cut just with in this line and you want to be able to push the tea light candle down into hole for a tight fit so it won’t go into the pumpkin or gourd. Also, this would have to be done in a short time before a party or dinner as once cut the pumpkin or gourd will shrink which will make the tea light go into the pumpkin or gourd.
Another bouquet using stems painted black. Fill with various levels of candy corn, candy pumpkins and you could even add black jelly beans. Half way through add wood sticks and then fill the rest of the way.
What a simple idea for a quick floral arrangement idea. Fill the bottom of large pitcher or bowl with jelley beans, Place smaller vase inside and sill gap with marshmallow characters, candy corn and black jelly beans. Arrange floral bouquet in the inside vase.
So simple and makes a big impact with your other party creations. Simple cut a pumpkin at the top where it starts to curve to make its way to the stem. Clean it out and scrap. Add drinks and pack with ice around the drinks. Pumpkins stays good for a long time since the ice keeps it cool so it doesn’t spoil.
