Here's how you can make yourself a beautiful pumpkin vase in time for Halloween.
You will need:
- Pumpkin
- Cylindrical vase roughly the same height as your pumpkin
- Sharp knife
- Spoon
- Bowl
- Marker pen
- Red, orange, yellow and purple flowers
Making the vase:
- Put the vase on top of your pumpkin and draw around the base.
- With a sharp knife cut along the line you've drawn.
- Hollow out the pumpkin. *Put the scooped out centre in to the bowl and save for later.
- Slide the vase inside the pumpkin. If it’s the same height as the pumpkin or slightly higher, then the hole you made will hold it in place.
- Make sure the vase is stable in the pumpkin, then fill with water and flower food.
- Add red, orange, yellow and purple flowers of your choice.
You now have yourself a great Halloween table decoration!
*You can use the pumpkin pulp to make all sorts of delicious goodies like pumpkin pie or pumpkin soup.
