Halloween Centerpieces - Cooking Tips

Trace the bottom of a 4 to 6-inch pillar candle onto the top of a pumpkin.

With a sharp knife, cut along the traced line. While cutting, hold the knife at an angle, this will create a cone shape. Discard the cut portion.

The candle should fit securely into the cut portion of the pumpkin. Adjust the size of the opening as needed. If the cut portion is too large to securely hold the candle, place a can inside of the pumpkin and place the candle on top of the can. This will create stability for the candle.

Arrange fresh flowers around the candle.

Trace the bottom of a metal can onto the top of a pumpkin.

With a sharp knife, cut along the traced line. Discard the cut portion. Remove the seeds and flesh of the pumpkin with a spoon.

The can should fit into the cut portion of the pumpkin. Adjust the size of the opening as needed. Fill the can with water. If available, place floral foam inside of the can before filling with water. The floral foam helps to secure the flowers. Arrange your choice of seasonal flowers.
