Place Bow
Set bow on top of the arrangement, placing one wire around each side of the arrangement.
Tip: Get photos and instructions to
make your own bow

Twist wire
Turn arrangement over and twist wire tightly around everything to secure it all together. Leave the wire about 4" long and wind it once or twice around the stem of the pumpkin, then cut off excess.

|
Hot Glue
After wiring to the stem, gently lift the arrangement slightly (shown here detached from pumpkin stem) and squeeze a thick 2" long bead of glue on the underside of the arrangement.

|
Attach to pumpkin
Immediately press the arrangement onto the top of the pumpkin, either on one side of the stem, or with stem hidden between leaves. Hold for 15-45 seconds until glue sets up.
Tip: If the glue releases later (depending on the surface of your pumpkin), you can reglue, or let the wire around the stem hold the arrangement.

Finished!
Place these arrangements on your table as party favors or placecards. They can also be lined up down the middle of the dining room table for Halloween, a fall dinner, or for Thanksgiving. Or simply place on a small table or shelf for a long lasting fall decoration.
