Succulent Topped Pumpkin

I am having a love affair with succulents lately and really wanted to incorporate them into my fall decor this year. They are such hardy plants and are just about the only plant that I can seem to keep alive!
Materials Needed:
I also wanted to keep the cost of this project to a minimum, so I pulled the moss I used off of a log in the woods behind our house.
Using spray adhesive, attach the moss to the top of the pumpkin. If you have any bald spots, just glue some small chunks of moss into those holes.
I simply stuck the stems of the succulent cuttings down into the moss and (gently) played around with the arrangement until I liked how it looked.
To keep the succulents alive, you'll need to use a spray bottle and mist them once or twice a week. Then when you are done using them on top of your pumpkin in a few weeks, just pluck them out of the moss and plant them in a container!
Enjoyed the project?
