Pumpkin Centerpiece

Want to use a real pumpkin to create a centerpiece? It's easier than you might think!

Start by selecting as round a pumpkin as you can find, cut the top off of a pumpkin and clean it out as you would when preparing a jack-o'-lantern.
Let the pumpkin sit exposed to air for about 2 hours to dry.
Inside the pumpkin, a plastic container that fits easily.
Soak floral foam in water and then place it inside the container.
Now you can add real or artificial flowers by pushing the stems into the foam. If using real flowers, be sure to water and add plant food every other day.
