You'll need a drill and drill bits to recreate the look, as well as a pumpkin, carving knife, and assorted faux flowers. First, scoop out the seeds and flesh inside the pumpkin.

Stick the large flowers through the holes, then use a smaller drill bit to make a few more holes and fill with the other flower stems.

The best part about this gorgeous craft is that you don't need one of those beautiful "fairy-tale pumpkins" to make it. Start by cutting off the top and scooping out the seeds and flesh.

Arrange a few of these painted pumpkins on your entryway table or mantel, and you have an indoor Halloween decoration everyone will notice. First, use painter's tape to outline several thick vertical stripes, or one horizontal one. Then, tape your stencil inside the stripes and use a pouncer to lightly dab paint onto the pumpkin to fill the stencil. If you're doing multiple stripes, let the first dry, and then continue on to the next.
