Floral art is developing very quickly. And if only 10 years ago only bouquets were made from flowers, today plants are an integral part of many decorative compositions. Living flowers adorn walls and tables, as well as decorate food. Composition in a pumpkin can decorate the table for any holiday. How to make such an unusual decor, read below.

Composition with ears

It will not be difficult to create such a decorative element. A composition in a pumpkin, assembled from dried flowers, will be able to please a person for six months. Making this craft is easy. But preparing the material for its creation will be troublesome. After all, it is necessary to collect ears of corn in the field, collect dried flowers, poppy heads and all small things, for example, cones and acorns. After that, you need to prepare the pumpkin. You should cut off its upper part, take out the pulp and dry the peel naturally. The main thing is that it does not become moldy during the drying process. When all the preparatory work is done, you can start making a pumpkin composition with your own hands. First of all, a floral sponge should be placed in a dried pumpkin base. The legs of all plants should be stuck into it so that the bouquet stands evenly and does not fall apart at the slightest touch. First you need to create a center of the composition of spikelets. With the second layer, frame the bouquet with dried flowers in a circle. You can use not only flowers, but also various branches and even reeds. If it seems to you that the bouquet turned out to be boring, complement it with cones and acorns.

autumn composition

What flowers do everyone associate with the golden season? That's right, chrysanthemums. You should choose them if you decide to make a composition in a pumpkin from flowers. To build such an element of decor will not be difficult. You don't have to dry the pumpkin or the flowers. But to create this decorative work, you will definitely need it. We begin to make the composition in the pumpkin by dividing the yellow round beauty into two parts. They do not have to be even, and the cut should not be made too straight. Get creative. We remove the hat from the pumpkin, and cut the pulp from both the top and bottom of the vegetable. In the resulting hole we place a floristic sponge. We close the pumpkin with a lid, and begin to fill the slot with flowers. You need to select chrysanthemums in the same color scheme as the vegetable, that is, in red, orange and yellow colors.

Composition with flowers

To make such a decor, you will need a special, decorative vegetable. Its difference from ordinary pumpkin is that it does not grow moldy. Cut off the top of it and clean out the pulp. Now let the peel dry and paint it in any color. When this stage is passed, you can begin to create a composition in a pumpkin. The first step is to place a floral sponge in the blank. We wrap it in cellophane, soak it with water and place it in a pumpkin. Now you should alternately stick flowers into the sponge. The composition can consist of any plants. These can be standard roses, tulips, daffodils, etc. You should not use only those flowers that have a too short stick. You can complement the composition with decorative branches.

Pumpkins in a pumpkin

There are two ways to make such a composition. In the first, we need small decorative pumpkins, and in the second, we need to make mini papier-mâché paper vegetables. How to proceed, choose for yourself. Autumn composition in a pumpkin is made as follows. It is necessary to clean the orange beauty from the pulp and dry the workpiece well. Then you should fill half the pumpkin with old newspapers. But in the upper part of the vegetable, beauty should be created. We put a floral sponge on the newspapers and strengthen the ears in it. Now on the one hand you need to put miniature pumpkins in a chaotic manner. If you want them to shine, you should first cover them with a glossy varnish. Maple leaves, grapes, rowan berries, rose hips and even decorative beads can complement such a composition.

CAT AND MOUSE

fun autumn pumpkin crafts.

And this cat and mouse theme can be embodied from a pumpkin in a variety of ways. From a large pumpkin we make a cat. And from small pumpkins, mice with tails and mustaches. Here are a few options on how to make a cat out of a pumpkin.

And here is an interesting idea for an autumn pumpkin craft in the form of a box with kittens. Ears can be cut out from pieces of fabric or cardboard.

And here is another great and simple pumpkin craft idea - CHEESE AND MICE. Just cut round holes in the pumpkin barrel. And we put toy mice in it. To make the hole round, you can cut it out not by hand, but hollow it out with a hammer (we apply a metal cup or tube to the pumpkin - and knock on the other end with a hammer - the tube cuts into the pumpkin and knocks out a round hole).

And mice for such pumpkin cheese crafts can be crocheted - or sewn from rags. Or molded from plasticine.

You can also make a mouse house out of a pumpkin. To such a craft from a pumpkin, you can attach a cross-shaped lattice on the windows, made of twigs-sticks. And make a gate with your own hands (put two sticks HORIZONTALLY - smear them with glue-moment - and quickly lay VERTICAL sticks-boards on these two sticks.

And we make a step ladder according to the same principle as a gate-door.

And since we have already reached the topic of houses, here are a couple more housing ideas for pumpkin crafts.

PUMPKIN HOUSES

children's crafts for the garden and school.

If the pumpkin is elongated in height, then you can make a two-story mansion. With hanging balconies. Decorated with flowers. We cut out balconies from quarters of apples, or quarters of small patissons. Decorate the pumpkin house with flowers and sprigs of decorative dry plants.

But overall it's gorgeous idea for an autumn pumpkin house with brick and stone cladding (photo below). We will make such gray bricks ourselves - from ordinary square BREAD CRUSHERS.

You can buy croutons ready-made in the store, or cut the bread into cubes and dry in the oven. After complete hardening, we paint crackers in WHITE AND GRAY paint. In two bowls we breed paint (gray and white) - - it is better to use acrylic paint, but gouache is also possible. In the paint is a must mix in some flour to make it a mixture thick doughy like pancakes.

Quickly dip into the cracker in sticky paint and set aside. While the croutons are still not wet and sticky, on a smooth board we lay out our PIPE from them .... PORCH and facing of the DOOR PORTAL. And let it dry completely. We fasten the dried elements with glue-moment to the barrel of the pumpkin (it is possible to cut openings in the pumpkin so that our lining enters them like grooves).

Flour should hold parts of the building together - but if it detaches somewhere, then we fasten it with ordinary moment glue (or hot glue from a gun). Melted caramel also sticks together perfectly (pour a little water (1 mm) on the bottom of the saucepan, put candy canes and melt them over low heat - an excellent glue is obtained.

We make doors from small twigs and chips - we connect them with glue, or we put them on a PLATE FROM PLASTILINE.

You can come up with your own model of a FAIRY HOUSE made from a pumpkin. Show imagination. Let your pumpkin craft be the embodiment of the creative power of your brain.

Olga Klishevskaya, specially for the site

Pumpkin is more used not only for food, its decorative properties are great, because designers love to use it so much. Let's make a wonderful autumn bouquet in a pumpkin, i.e. the vase will be made of pumpkin, it is very decorative, stylish and beautiful.

Autumn is a wonderful time of the year, it is like the last breath of nature before the coming winter. Autumn gives us many opportunities for creativity, there are so many bright colors in nature only in autumn, it is not in vain that autumn inspires poets.

By the way, often, if a wedding is in the fall, wedding designers offer to enrich the floral design of the wedding with decorative pumpkins, namely, they make bouquets in a pumpkin. True, I met such compositions on foreign sites, it seemed to me that it was a great idea to use a pumpkin as a vase for bouquets.

How to make a pumpkin vase

A very beautiful arrangement of flowers in a pumpkin is very simple, the main thing is to choose the right pumpkin for a vase. The first requirement for a pumpkin is that it must not be spoiled, and its tail must be no less than 5 cm, otherwise there is a high risk that the inside of the pumpkin will be spoiled.

The second requirement for a pumpkin vase is that the pumpkin has a flat, stable bottom, otherwise there is a risk that your pumpkin vase can easily turn over. There are no requirements for the shape of a pumpkin, a pumpkin for a vase can be round or elongated, the main one, so that it stands and does not fall.

To make a vase from a pumpkin, you need to mark the top and cut a hole in the pumpkin into which a glass, jar or other container is then inserted, it is filled with water and there are flowers in it.

After the lid of the pumpkin is cut out, you need to select all the insides of the pumpkin, and after using a spoon, remove the pulp from the walls of the pumpkin as much as possible, this can be used to prepare some dishes, baking for example. The more you collect pulp from the pumpkin walls, the longer the life of the pumpkin vase will be.

Next, you need to process the pumpkin inside, in order to prevent the rapid growth of bacteria inside the pumpkin, you can use a special aerosol, they are used when carving pumpkins for Halloween. If you do not have such an aerosol, you can treat the pumpkin inside with a solution of liquid soap and soda ash, bleach, etc. After processing the pumpkin inside, it must be dried well, blotted with paper towels.

It must be understood that a pumpkin vase cannot last a month or more, although such information was stated on some sites, no, this is not so.

When the pumpkin vase is ready, put the container inside, fill it with water and make a flower arrangement.

The most successful pumpkin vase looks if you make a bouquet in a pumpkin voluminous, you need to use plants that will cover the cut part of the pumpkin. All autumn flowers go well with a bright orange pumpkin, but why not use other gifts of autumn for a bouquet in a pumpkin - red clusters of mountain ash, grapes, autumn leaves, decorative physalis.

In my opinion, a pumpkin vase does not need additional decoration, but if you want to make something special, then there are a few ideas:

There is a very rare variety of white pumpkin, it has excellent decorative properties, but in this case, I think the pumpkin was painted with white paint.

But this pumpkin vase is really made from a white variety of pumpkin.

Fun Halloween Pumpkin Vase Idea

To make such a pumpkin vase, it must be smeared with glue and sprinkled with Epsom salts, if there is none, just sugar and allowed to dry.

I have not heard anything about the existence of blue pumpkins, it is colored noticeably by the tail of the pumpkin and the characteristic brilliance.

But I was wrong! There are blue and blue pumpkins, they grow extremely rarely in Guatemala and Australia!

To create beautiful autumn bouquets in a pumpkin, decorative pumpkins of bright color and volumetric shape are more often used.
