Begin by prepping your work space. You may want to lay down some butcher paper/newspaper to protect your work surface. Also, if working inside, make sure it’s a well ventilated area since you’re using spray adhesive.
In small sections, spray the moss with an even layer of spray adhesive. Quickly place onto the top of the pumpkin {almost giving Mr. Pumpkin a hat!}, pressing down firmly, for a few seconds, to ensure that the moss sticks. Repeat for all of the pumpkins you are decorating.
Once your pumpkin tops are covered with a decent layer of moss, warm up your glue gun, and gather your succulent cuttings. {making sure you have an assortment of colors and variety}.
Now for the fun part! One-by-one, using your warmed up glue gun, glue the bottoms/ends of the succulent cuttings into the moss. Make sure you hold each piece, while gluing, for a few seconds so that it properly adheres. Make sure that all sides are equally adorned and beautiful! Tuck pieces in as you go… making the top of the pumpkin full and vibrant!
Aren’t these the most beautiful little gardens you’ve ever seen? Go ahead and try it, they are really simple to make and the result.. STUNNING!!
