Gourd Flower Vases

G Gourd vases for Fall decorating are so pretty and so super easy! When I say easy, you know I mean it because I don't like complicated projects.

Here's all you have to do:

Cut the gourd at the top to create the neck of the vase. Use your knife to cut an X deep into the flesh of the gourd.

Then use a large spoon to scoop out the inside of the gourd. Make sure to get it as clean as you can but don't pierce the skin or your vase will leak. It might leak anyway so be sure to place it on a dish just in case.

The alternative is to put a zip top bag into the gourd once you have hollowed it, making sure to fold 2" of the bag over the top. Secure with a rubber band. Fill the bag with water. Arrange your flowers. Pust the bag and the rubber band up so it is hidden beneath the flowers.

Once you have the gourd completely hollowed out, add water and flowers of your choice. I used goldenrod from the yard and then added thistle, mums and roses. It only took about 20 minutes and the result? You tell me what you think. My friends loved it.

Party on, ya'll.
