By November 13, 2015 No Comments

Happy Friday!

A fall DIY that is sure to be loved by everyone. Not only is it easy to do but its a pretty modern twist on a classic idea! You can be creative as you want! We went with a simple planter for our tablescape, but feel free to get a bigger pumpkin and fill it with various types of succulents to achieve a full succulent planter. This would be perfect for centerpiece for your table or decoration piece around your home.

Let’s do this!

Start by cutting a hole all the way around the stem on the pumpkin, about ½ inch out from the stem (or more for a larger succulent).Doing a square works easier then a circle for cutting. Be careful to not cut the bottom of the pumpkin.
