succulent-pumpkin-centerpiece-consumer-crafts-unleashed-22You’ll want to make sure you create a big enough opening to showcase the lovely succulents while still maintaining the pumpkin shape.

To complete the look of this succulent pumpkin centerpiece, I wanted something a little more understated than the bright orange pumpkin color so I decided to paint it with chalk paint. I knew it could easily be transformed with a beautiful new finish. It took two coats of chalk paint to get an opaque finish. Be sure to let it dry in between each coat of paint.

Start with the largest succulent and work around by adding in different styles of succulent picks to fill out the arrangement. The different styles and heights add some fun variety and interest to the centerpiece.

    At first, I thought it was a real pumpkin and I was wondering what did you use to make it last. After that I realised it was a fake one. Haha! Nice idea!!
