Directions
- Use the flower pot as a guide to mark the size of the opening on top of one pumpkin. Cut straight down so the pot can slide in. For the other pumpkin, cut a hole just big enough for the battery-powered candle. Then carve any patterns you like into the pumpkins.
- Apply Krylon Make It Stone spray paint to the pumpkins. Let each coat dry fully before adding the next.
- Once the paint is dry, use paint pens to draw designs on the pumpkins.
- Place your plant into the flower pot pumpkin and the candle into the other pumpkin. Arrange them on your table as a centerpiece.
