16. Pressed Herbarium Glass Pumpkin
For a truly unique and breathtaking display, try creating a pressed herbarium glass pumpkin. Instead of using a solid pumpkin, this craft utilizes a hollow, clear glass pumpkin jar or cloche. By placing pressed autumn leaves, ferns, and delicate dried flowers inside or decoupaged onto the glass, you create a glowing, translucent botanical display that looks incredibly delicate and sophisticated.
Clean your glass pumpkin thoroughly. Using a clear-drying glass medium or Mod Podge, carefully apply your pressed, dried botanical specimens to the inside surface of the glass, pressing them flat so their colors and shapes are visible from the outside. Once dry, place a warm, battery-operated fairy light strand or a flameless tea light inside the glass pumpkin. The light will filter through the translucent leaves, casting beautiful, organic shadows and a warm, cozy glow throughout your room.
