Falling for DIY'ing


Fall in Love Centerpiece
You are going to fall in love with this fabulous DIY craft that can be used as a centerpiece for any occasion such as a fall wedding, Thanksgiving, or fall home décor. Inspired By You & Co. loves this time of year with all the leaves changing but even better, its home décor changing season! That means more fun DIY projects for us to make and share with you. This specific centerpiece allows you to get creative and make it your own. We fell in love with these fun and easy centerpieces.

Materials Needed:
Pumpkin of Any Size
Carving Knife
Scissors
Recycled Soup Can
Bouquet of Flowers
Masking Tape or Twine

What a brilliant idea to put flowers in a pumpkin rather than a vase. Simply cut a circle around the top of stem wide enough for a soup can to sit inside the pumpkin. Next, clean out the guts and save the seeds so you can eat them, of course! Place the can inside the pumpkin with a little bit of water for your flowers. You can use real or fake flowers in your bouquet but I purchased mine from the local farmers market in Eau Claire, WI for $5.00. We are all about crafting on a budget. Cut the stems, at an angle, to the appropriate size so that the flowers sit right on the top of the pumpkin. Lastly, I wrapped the stems with tape or twine so the bouquet stays together. And there you go, you have your fabulous fall centerpiece. I hope you enjoyed this fun and easy DIY project as much as we did!
