This guide walks you through creating monochromatic dried flower pumpkins using a glue gun and a curated selection of preserved botanicals like phalaris, lagurus, and hydrangea for a sophisticated seasonal display.

Directions

Gather your pumpkins and select your dried botanicals, such as the phalaris, gum branches, lagurus, gypso, centurea, pink oat straw, and hydrangea bunches.

Sketch out a design layout for each pumpkin to visualize how the different colored flowers will look together.

Apply hot glue generously to the back of each flower bunch and press them firmly onto the pumpkin surface until they adhere securely.
