Dollar Store Pumpkin Flowers Instructions
This project takes two easy steps to finish!
Step 1: Trim Flowers
Trim the ends of your faux flowers, cutting them short.
Step 2: Add Flowers to the Foam Pumpkins
Poke the ends of your faux flowers directly into the pumpkin, varying colors, for a gorgeous display!
The wire ends will secure tightly into the foam – no need to use glue.
Add in as many or as few flowers as you wish. I added flowers in fall hues of red, orange, and yellow.
And that’s all it takes. Now, your floral pumpkin is ready to display!
FAQs
Have questions about these floral dollar store pumpkins? I have answers! If you have any more questions, please leave them for me in the comments down below.

You can paint your foam pumpkins to fit any color scheme in your home! Try a neutral cream for an understated look or a stark black for a modern, chic look.

Can you use fresh flowers in these dollar-store pumpkins?
This dollar store pumpkin craft best suits faux flowers because they’re long-lasting and have wire ends, making insertion really simple.
If you want to use fresh flowers for a natural, temporary design, simply add floral picks to the end of your stems before sticking them into the foam.
Which color combinations look best with this project?
For a classic autumnal vibe, I use the colors of fall leaves to decorate my pumpkins; different shades of red, yellow, and orange look perfectly seasonal.
For a spooky Halloween display, try mixing orange, black, and white faux flowers. The contrast is really fun!
Finally, for a subtle and neutral design, stick to faux flowers in various shades of white, cream, and beige. This monochromatic combination is chic and contemporary.
