  7. Cut out flowers out using a flower shape (I downloaded a template daisy shape) from fabric or burlap, etc. ( I used a scrap of leftover shelf liner.) I cut a large daisy shape and a smaller one. Make a bow using several strands of green twine or raffia, etc.

  9. Using a hot glue gun, glue the button to the center of the flowers, then glue the bow to the dowel and then add the flowers to the top of the bow, gluing in place.This pumpkin can be taken apart for flat storage when not in use as a decoration.
