I think mini baby boo pumpkins and tiny succulents were made for each other. They are both very trendy right now and the succulents add such a nice topper to these little white pumpkins! I’ll be using them this year on my Thanksgiving table at each place setting. And my guests can take them home with them as a little gift. Let’s make some darling succulent topped pumpkins!
Today on Decorating Tips And Tricks we are talking about RUGS! Yes, there is a whole lot to say…
You can listen to episode #246 below
Today is HOME STYLE SATURDAY. My blogging buddies and I are dusting off our best posts from the past to share with you again or and for the first time for many.
Ready to make our succulent topped pumpkins?
Here’s the material you will need:
- mini baby boo pumpkins real or faux
- tiny succulents
- crinkled paper or Spanish moss
- hot glue
- scissors
Pop the stem off of the pumpkins. Hot glue a small amount of crinkled paper to the indent at the top of the pumpkin.
Clip sections of succulent from the plant.
Hot glue succulent clippings into place on the crinkled paper.
That’s it! Aren’t these succulent topped pumpkins beautiful?
The succulents will last a month or even more without watering.
How cute are these?

August 25, 2018 at 2:23 pmHow clever!! These little darlings have so many uses and I can’t wait to try them. Fall dinner party is a good time to use them as place cards; they would really make everyone feel special and can be used as favors. Thank you Yvonne for sharing your wonderful ideas!!

August 25, 2018 at 11:17 amLove these. And love your blog. It was 102° at my house yesterday and it will be in the 90’s and humid until the last of October or the first of November so this gives me HOPE. (Where I live {South Texas}, no air conditioning is grounds for divorce!) I always look forward to your daily posts. Just wonderful.

July 13, 2018 at 7:56 pmI always thought these were planted! I have several succulents that could use a trim so maybe I’ll use a few cuttings to make some of these! What a fun idea. I’m glad you shared.

October 24, 2017 at 8:57 amSucculent topped mini pumpkins are so clever and so cute. Perfect take-away gift for any fall gathering. Curious as to how plants continue to live after being glued but certainly worth a try.
Robin Riley commented
October 24, 2017 at 8:31 amSince you clip pieces of the succulents and adhere them with glue, do they still live?
StoneGable commented
October 24, 2017 at 10:47 amYes, they live for quite awhile. I have a succulent topped pumpkin that has lived for almost 2 months.

October 23, 2017 at 5:49 pmGreat idea! They are both cute and pretty! 🙂 I didn’t know real succulents would last that long without water. Good tip!
Also… just my 2 cents… but I miss seeing dates on your posts and comments. I like to see what your ‘history’ is, and how far you have come! 😉
