Pumpkin Vase

I'm feeling crafty, and it's a good season to have these feelings. Between homemade Halloween costumes, apple pies and pumpkin carving, Fall is the perfect time to let your creative juices flowing.

Boyfriend and I normally carve pumpkins for Halloween, but we're throwing a party for friends (party pictures will be posted soon). I wanted something simple, pretty and worthy of inside the house in lieu of the front porch.

Please do not drink with using knife

Carve a small hole on the crown of the pumpkin to remove the stem. Scoop out the seeds and gunk from the inside of the pumpkin. Place silk flowers into hole and tadah! Instant vase.

If you want to used real flowers, place a glass, or an aluminum can in the pumpkin. Fill container with water and add flowers.

This was my effort to be crafty and decorate for our little Halloween party. Might not be fancy, but at least it was fun.
