By the end of the month, chrysanthemums have lost their lustre and you’re searching for something spooktacular to adorn your urns. Our solution? Just add pumpkins!
What you’ll need:
• Pumpkins (a variety of all shapes, sizes and colours)
• Artificial bugs, birds, rodents and flowers
• Black spray paint
Directions:
1. Stack the pumpkins (thread on a large dowel if placing in a windy spot) and embellish with artificial bugs, birds, rodents and flowers, all spray-painted black.
2. For extra interest, we planted mini ornamental cabbages and English ivy around the rim of the pot.
