Step 1

Cut pieces of floral foam to fill the base of the pumpkin. Use hot glut to hold the pieces together and glue them to the base of the pumpkin.

Step 2

Hot glue a trimming of moss around the opening of the diorama pumpkin. Work in small sections and use a small amount of glue but a larger amount of moss to avoid burning your fingers. Once the glue cools, you can trim some of the moss away if desired.

Step 3

Fill the inside of the pumpkin with moss.

Step 4

Place the large tree in the back of the diorama.

Step 5

Add the remaining pieces to the diorama.
TIP: You may want to add a bit of hot glue to most of the pieces to hold them in place.

Step 6
Add decorative lights around the scene and set the battery pack to the side so it is not visible.
