Miniature pumpkins, plus a few other gourds, provided great starting points for creating a set of fun fall containers.
Candlesticks & Vase. We'll show you how we turned some of the smaller gourds into candlesticks. Plus, it was easy to create a gorgeous plant container from a larger gourd.
We decided to add some height to our fall decor by making candlesticks from gourds.
Easy to Assemble. First, we drilled holes all the way through a couple of miniature pumpkins with a 1/2" spade bit. Then we used a hot glue gun to attach the miniature pumpkins to the tops of larger upside-down gourds.
A larger gray gourd became a container for a beautiful fall plant arrangement.
Simple Style. To make the "vase," we just carved a hole in the gourd's top with a drywall saw, and then cleaned out the pulp. We arranged a selection of live plants and decorative branches from the craft store inside.
