Remove the stem from a real pumpkin (or glue floral foam to a faux/ceramic pumpkin)

Add dried pepperberry stems to both sides for a draping effect

Glue green moss around the base of the foam to hide mechanics

Add a base layer of dried greenery to build structure

Glue the pumpkin stem to the top center as a focal point

Add large dried florals like hydrangeas to form the main shape

Layer in medium florals such as dahlias and eucalyptus

Turn the pumpkin as you go to ensure full coverage

Fill gaps with hops, seed pods, baby artichokes, or pinecones

Let a few pieces trail over the edges for a natural look

Style on a tray or wood slice and surround with candles or mini pumpkins
