Introduction

This idea comes from our friend Anusha Rajeswaran of Fish & Bull. Spell it out with a floral monogram pumpkin! This pumpkin is bursting with fall florals, fresh greenery, and a personalized monogram for your family. You can substitute faux flowers for a similar look that lasts even longer.

materials

Pumpkin

Alphabet letter clip-art

Flowers (fresh or artificial)

Floral wire

Hot-glue gun

steps

For an easy template, print out a letter in block lettering (Tip: We used a lower case D.)
Use the clip-art as a guide to create a letter outline with floral wire. Make sure the size fits the pumpkin.
Trim the stems off your flowers leaving about 2 inches to attach it to the wire. Using extra floral wire, add flowers and greenery to the sides of the wire letter until the letter is filled in with flowers.
Attach the letter to the pumpkin with a hot glue gun, glueing it down in a few spots to secure into place.
