Succulent Embellished Pumpkins You Can Do Yourself
Good morning! I’m excited to tell you about how to embellish pumpkins with succulents for a creative and organic look.
Decorated Pumpkins
A few years ago, Kim from Northern California Style brought these cute embellished pumpkins as party favors to our lunch. She made them herself (more about it here)!
Mine got slightly damaged in the car, so I foraged for natural elements, pulled out my glue gun, and added a few things.
And then I was hooked! I wanted to embellish another pumpkin that I had on hand. It’s fun!!! There are some affiliate links at no additional cost to you. I appreciate your support.
I got the pumpkin-shaped pods here and the preserved moss here. The succulents came from an overgrown bush outside. The berries are from the flower stand. Get creative.
You could use whatever you have like Kim did with dried flowers. These would be fun party favors on your Thanksgiving table.
I sprinkled a little water on the succulents about every 10 days and they lasted through Thanksgiving.
Sound so innovative!! It’s so mesmerizing to read this
I don’t know how you do it every week, always finding great things to share. I love the Southern Living Idea Home, Lauren Liess did an amazing job. It looks like the quintessential family home so inviting and comfortable. Wish I could see it in person. Glad you got to have a birthday lunch with your blogging friends. Isn’t it wonderful when we get to see our friends and family? It is a very special treat in these unusual times.
I don’t know how you do it, every week you come up with such great things to share. The Southern Living Idea House is wonderful! Lauren Leiss did a fabulous job, wish I could see it in person. Glad you’re good and we’re able to have a birthday lunch get together with your bog friends. Isn’t it nice to be with friends and family?
I wish you and I could go to the showhouse together!
Happy Birthday! And Rebecca was wonderful–just watched it last week.
Thanks, Gail!
Happy Belated Birthday!
What a lovely celebration of girlfriends for your special day. What was on the menu?
You look terrific in your cute dress and so does Kim. Really adorable dresses.
They had delicious salads…I had a shaved vegetable salad with grilled sliced chicken on top.
Mary Ann, Happy Birthday, it looks like a wonderful celebration with great friends. I wish I could have been there! The pumpkins are so cute, what a great idea for Fall decorating.
I am off to check out your outfit because I want one, although I think it may be too short on me.
Have a wondeful week.
Happy belated birthday! Thank you so much for sharing all these fun ideas… Including Rebecca! Can’t wait to watch it.
Hi Mary Ann,
Happy belated birthday. What a fun birthday you had. That’s great. I love the new Ina book and now that we’re finally seeing some signs of autumn I’m ready to try several recipes.
Have a wonderful week. I hope the birthday celebrations continue. 😊
xo,
Karen
I will go back anytime you want, Elizabeth. The food and atmosphere was great…and company, of course. Thanks for planning it!
You’ve tickled off a list of favorites I can really run with today! I love Lauren Liess’ designs in the SL house. What a beautiful background for persona treasures! I’m looking forward to settling in this afternoon to watch Rebecca (I’m confidant my husband has more than one football game to enjoy!) and I’m also thinking that with the rising positivity rate in the Chicago area (it’s really awful here) I may have to get Ina Gsrtens new book — time in the kitchen with Ina is always good therapy when I can’t get out!
Have a great week!
I thought I would watch it while Howard watched football, too…but he agreed to watch it (didn’t love it as much as I did). The positivity rates are down in SF…but I am afraid to brag about it as they could go back up if we aren’t still careful.
I am so excited to see Rebecca on Netflix and I LOVE the Southern Living Idea House! So fun to celebrate your birthday together!!
I loved it, too!
