Pinterest is what all the cool kids are doin'!! It's the latest craze and, in this case, its ok to go against the old saying 'would you jump off a bridge if everyone else did?!?!' Yes, jump, take a look, get sucked in like many of the people I know!! Pinterest is basically like an online catalog/blog where you can browse for practically anything!! If you are looking for a recipe, type it in and Pinterest collects all the 'pins' that have a reference to your search and presents them to you. You then click on the picture that looks most like what you want and it will take you to a link where you can get a recipe!! If you are trying to decorate your child's nursery, type it in. Table setting, type it in. Birthday party ideas, type it in. I will never have to stress about my non-crafty brain thanks to pinterest! Ok so I needed a centerpiece!!
Here is my November craft!
Carve out a small pumpkin making sure you pick a pumpkin that sits pretty evenly on a table so your centerpiece doesn't sit crooked! Insert a plastic cup inside. The cup that will allow you to water real flowers (if you choose to make this with real flowers) or protect your silk flowers from pumpkin goo so you can re-use this next year!
Get something like this to arrange your flowers with:
Stick your flowers where you want them:
After you are done arranging, place the block of floral styrofoam in the cup and...TA DA.....
It was perfect for Thanksgiving! Side note, the carved pumpkin only stays fresh for a few days so this is something you will want to make close to the date in which you need it. Rotting, soggy pumpkins are not pleasant at the table!!
I am two for two this holiday season!! I am gonna go for a trifecta and craft in December....stay tuned!
