Pumpkin floral centerpieces are a charming and festive way to celebrate the beauty of fall. Combining the warm, rustic appeal of pumpkins with the vibrant colors of seasonal blooms, these arrangements bring a cozy, natural touch to any table or gathering. Not only do they capture the essence of autumn, but making your own centerpiece allows for creative expression, customization to fit your home’s style, and a fun, hands-on seasonal activity. Whether you’re hosting a dinner or simply sprucing up your space, DIY floral pumpkin centerpieces offer a personal and affordable way to embrace the season.

If you are looking for beautiful pumpkin decorations for Halloween or fall, you are sure to love this pumpkin vase tutorial. Monica Potter, star of “Welcome Back Potter”, shared these fun DIY pumpkin vases on Home & Family, which airs weekdays at 10 am ET/PT on Hallmark Channel.  I was given permission to share it with you here.

The beautiful DIY pumpkin vases make the perfect pumpkin decorations for Halloween or anytime during the fall season. They look fantastic on your table but you could also use them to brighten up your porch.

Pumpkin Centerpiece Craft Supplies:

  • Pumpkin
  • Flowers
  • Oasis Foam
  • Scissors
  • Knife
  • Scooper
  • Grapefruit Seed Extract (not grapefruit oil)

You can get most of these simple craft materials at your local craft store and grocery store.

How To Make A Pumpkin Vase For Flowers:

1. Soak your oasis foam for 2-3 hours before you start. You can skip this step if using silk flowers but soaking it well is key to keeping your real flowers hydrated and lasting a long time.
2. Select a pumpkin. A small sugar pumpkin in idea.
3. Cut the stem and surrounding area out of the pumpkin. Using a fun star shape lets the flowers spill out in a pretty way.

4. Scoop out the guts out of pumpkin
5. Put grapefruit seed extract at the bottom of pumpkin. This keeps any bacteria from growing in the water and helps your pumpkin last longer.
6. Cut your oasis block to size and insert into the pumpkin.
7. Stick flowers into the oasis foam to desired heights.
