Jessie Jane: Creating a Flower Pumpkin

Materials Needed:

  • Awl, ice pick or drill
  • Cut flowers 100-150 blooms – chrysanthemums if possible, or any flower that stands up straight
  • Pumpkins

Instructions:

  1. Step 1: Use an awl or ice pick to poke holes, approximately ½" apart, around the entire pumpkin.
  2. Step 2: Cut blooms with 2" to 3" stems off the plants. Strip leaves from the stems. (Larger pumpkins will need around 125+ blooms to completely cover them; smaller pumpkins need about 100 blooms.)
  3. Step 3: Stick blooms in the holes. The moisture from the pumpkin flesh will keep your "mumkin" looking good for 3 to 4 days.
