How Do I Display My Pumpkins?
These sweet, mini pumpkins would be beautiful anyway you display them in your home. You can pile them into a beautiful bowl and place them on your table.
They would also be perfect as place card holders for a fall gathering or even Thanksgiving.
I displayed them in this fall table setting with this bookmark. The bookmark can also serve as a party favor.
I also love to display these mini pumpkins in a vignette with my dried hydrangeas. You can see how I dry my hydrangeas here.
Other Ideas For Cinnamon Applesauce Pumpkins
These mini pumpkins would be a perfect item to sell at craft shows or just to gift to a friend. Imagine a few of these in a clear bag and tied with a beautiful ribbon.
I just put some shredded up sheet music in a clear bag and tied it with some off white ribbon. I also added a sweet little Happy Fall tag. Since these pumpkins were handmade by you, they would make a perfect hostess gift and would make anyone smile.
