Learn three key techniques—turning a faux pumpkin into a vase, making paper flowers, and arranging a cohesive display—that you can apply to future projects all year long.

Crafting Confidence

If you follow these bite-size, beginner-friendly lessons in order, I promise you can create this centerpiece.

Arrange Your Centerpiece Live with Abbi

Join this live workshop to assemble all your handmade flowers into your pumpkin centerpiece! Plus, a little surprise from me to help you carry your crafting momentum into the busiest crafting season—and beyond.

Can’t make all 3 days?

No problem! Even watching one of the workshops will give you a handmade piece to treasure.

Let’s kick off the coziest crafting season together!

If life already feels like a blur of holiday prep (or you’re just trying to keep up with everyday busyness, nevermind the holidays!), I see you.

The 3-day, beginner-friendly Paper Petals & Pumpkins Challenge is designed to fit even the busiest schedule. In under an hour a day, you can create a meaningful centerpiece or gift filled with love. That’s something even the cutest decorations currently on store shelves can’t beat.

But even more than that, I wanted this challenge to be a reminder that crafting doesn’t have to be time-consuming or expensive.

Even one day of Paper Petals & Pumpkins will give you a handmade piece to treasure—and maybe the spark you need to keep showing up for yourself this season. 

I hope to see you there! 💛

No, a cutting machine is not required though you can use it for the flowers and leaves workshops. I’ll be using a Cricut machine in most of my tutorials, but any current Cricut model, Silhouette, Juliette, or Brother ScanNCut will work, too.

Cutting with scissors? Look for printable templates!
