For a real wow factor, why not try carving a pumpkin and using it as the vase?

What you will need:

Pumpkin

A knife

Pot or container

Water

Flowers

Step One

To do this, you’ll want to get a pumpkin, whatever size you like, and cut a circle around the stem with a knife, making sure the hole is big enough to push a pot through.

scoop out the pumpkin

Step Two

Scoop out the insides and pat the inside walls dry. Next, grab a pot or container (it won’t be seen so don’t worry what it looks like), fill it with water and place your beautiful arrangement in the pot.

Step Three 

All you need to do now is slide the pot into the hollow pumpkin and voilà. We hate wasting anything here at Hayloft and over the years we’ve found lots of great recipes that use the pumpkin guts, so don’t throw them away!

Make yourself a lovely pumpkin soup or roast the seeds for a snack.
