| Directions:

Step 1 - With permanent marker write your address on the clay pot. Write large enough so that the address is visible from the street.
|
|
|
Step 2 - Soak the floral foam in water that has been treated with floral preservative for at least 30 minutes.
|
|
|
Step 3 - Cut and line the clay pot with the garbage bag; then cut the wet floral foam to fit the interior of the pot. The foam should meet the rim of the pot.
|
|
|
Step 4 - To hide the garbage bag, tuck moss between the pot and the floral foam.
|
|
|
Step 5 - Set the large pumpkin in the center of the pot; on top of the foam. Now cut the sunflowers to approximately 3-inches in length and then insert them evenly around the rim of the pot. Next, insert the greenery between the flowers.

|
Step 6 - Towards the front of the pot, insert the lily grass as a group into the floral foam. Use the wood pick with wire to hold the ends of the lily grass; then insert the pick into the foam.

|
Step 7 - Stack the medium and small pumpkin on top of the large one.
