- Hot glue the bow to front of basket.

- Stick skewers into bottom of foam craft pumpkins.

- Use a dab of hot glue to secure the skewers to the pumpkin.

- Place a layer of hay on the bottom of the basket and place the plastic saucer on top (this helps prevent saucer from sliding).
- Place the plant on top of the saucer.
- If the growers pot isn't wide enough to fill up the basket you can stuff hay around it to prevent it from moving around.
- Stick your pumpkins in the planter or surrounding hay to get the look you like.

DIY Easy Bow
- Decide how wide you would like your bow.

- Fold the ribbon so you have double the chosen length then cut.

- Repeat step 2 with a slightly smaller piece of ribbon.

- Hot glue the edges together to make a loop. Do this with both pieces, so you have a big loop and a smaller loop.


- Cut a 3-4in piece of ribbon, then fold it in thirds, securing it with hot glue.



- Take your 2 loops and place them on top of each other then pinch them in the middle.

- Take your small piece of ribbon and hot glue it to the middle of the pinched piece.


- Wrap the small piece all the way around, hot glue in place, then cut the excess off.



- Next you want to decide how long you want the tail of your bow.

- Fold the ribbon so you have 2 equal length pieces.

- Lining the pieces of ribbon up evenly, cut a triangle shape out of the unfolded edge.


- Hot glue the tail to your top piece and you now have an easy bow!
