Materials:

• Heirloom pumpkins  (they tend to last longer)
• Succulents (Try Sedum varieties if possible. They last longer).
• Glue gun
• Spray adhesive
• Moss

Instructions:

• Use the spray adhesive and apply the moss to the top of the pumpkin.
• Cut your succulents and apply them to the moss using a glue gun. This will help retain the moisture inside the foliage. 
• That’s it! Easy Peasy!
• When the pumpkins start to decompose, simply pull off the moss and succulents and plant them in some soil. They will establish roots and keep growing. 
• To care for the succulents, just mist them once a week or so. Be wary of extreme cold.  Succulents will last longer inside. 

These are great for general fall decor and even Thanksgiving Centerpieces!
