Give your autumn pumpkins a beautiful, non-carved makeover by adorning them with pressed flowers. Using a natural cornflour and water glue, you arrange dried blooms on the pumpkin's surface for a charming, biodegradable decoration. Add LED candles or fairy lights to create a cozy evening display.

Directions
- Select a pumpkin in any shape or size; pumpkins with smooth exteriors are best since they allow large blooms and leaves to stick smoothly.
- Collect pressed flowers from your yard, garden, or a nearby grocery store.
- Prepare a natural adhesive by mixing a paste of cornflour and water; if you'd like extra stickiness, add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice.
- Place your dried flowers on the pumpkin's sides and top in your desired arrangement.
- Apply glue to the flowers using a brush to attach them to the pumpkin, holding each in place for a few moments as needed until they set.
- For an inviting glow, optionally surround your finished pumpkin with LED flameless candles or fairy lights.
