- Faux Pumpkin
- Faux Succulents
- Exacto Knife
- Round Floral Foam Discs enough to fill your pumpkin
- Faux Moss
Cut a round hole in the top of your pumpkin that is the same size as your floral foam discs. Stack enough floral foam discs inside the pumpkin to fill it completely, so the top of the foam is level with the top of the pumpkin.
Begin placing faux succulents into the floral foam, working from the out edges in toward the center, and building higher toward the center.
Use small sections of moss to cover any white spots that are visible after all your succulents have been placed.
I used a craft pumpkin from Walmart that's about 9 inches in diameter and 6 inch floral foam discs from the dollar store - it took 7 discs to fill this pumpkin (they are sold in sets of 2). I also this set of faux succulents from Amazon. If you use a larger pumpkin, you will need more foam and might need a larger set of succulents.
