Hello and welcome, welcome to the company Interior's channel.
My name's Nick Clark, and in today's video, we are going to be looking at another autumn
or fall race made with small pumpkins, very seasonal for this time of year.
We're in the autumn or in the fall.
And this is very poignant because we've just opened up our North American office.
So we have an office now in the U.K.
and Canada shipping all of these amazing preserved plants and mosses around the world.
So in today's video, we're going to show you in this series how to actually make an
autumn release with pumpkins.
Very Halloween, very, very autumn, very full, very now this time of year.
So let's go and have a look at the video.

customers are making with our products.
So let's go and have a look at the video now Denise is going to be making today.
I did say with company interiors today I want to show you how to make another pretty full
wreath. I'm working with the red based wreath form here.
Very nice structure, a big fat wreath, which is great for doing displays with and the
style of going to work with today is going to create like a simple swag style on half of
the wreath. So you'll see as we go along how we put that together.
I'm working with Eucalyptus.
I've got a few different varieties of the greens and blues styles of eucalyptus here.
And I went ahead and pre-cut a bunch of pieces off the branches.
They come in nice big packets and a lot of them have the curvature to the branches
already, which is perfect because that, as you'll see as we go along, it gives you a nice
sense of movement to your arrangement.
And some are like the longest pieces, so just start grouping them together in your hand
long with some shorter ones.
It doesn't have to be anything fancy just creating a little punch, but just be trying and
be mindful of which way they're there poking sort of to keep some, like, structure to to
what you're doing. So, as I say, I got quite a few pieces here where he worked with them
to group them together. She can see, as I'm putting that together, pointing out in
different directions. You just group together in your hand, hold them loosely.
A few different types, you can use any types of photos you want to, in my case, I'm using
the green and blue, blue, green colors because it works nicely with the orange.
So I'm going to put with it. But if you'd like to go with more of the red tones, there's
lots of beautiful eucalyptus comes in the other colors, colors as well.
So you group all those together, then you take your trusty floral type, cut a few pieces
off. I pre-cut some here, always easier just to cut it ahead of time when you're working
and just regroup.
Group those branches together.
Super simple. Nothing complicated about this.
But just to give you the idea of how to work with these elements, it's a group both
together so that you have like a literally a little bunch.
OK, so your starting point now, you can start embellishing that with other elements, so I
had a few different ideas I was working with before I came online here today.
So you could start with some of the Red Ivy or this one, I think is actually the Red
Salal is the slightly flatter leaves and some of these beautiful Scarfiotti.
So that together would look beautiful, gives a nice traditional kind of look.
But I'm going to work with today just some.
Artificial flowers, so I just want to show you how you can work with preserve materials
and artificial things together to give quite a nice display so it doesn't really matter.
You can put dry, artificial preserved all together in one arrangement.
All I would do when I'm working with any of these artificial things, these are just a
cheap one from the craft store is take the leaves off.
They just literally pull off or cut them off because I think it's the leaves that look the
most artificial. So if you're working with beautiful preserved leaves, you can put some
of these on for some color.
Intrust. And you don't drawing too much attention to the leaves of the.
Artificial pieces. So, again, I got different sizes here, so I have a longer a medium and
a short piece. I think if you work with different lengths, it helps give you that
interest that you need to pull your arrangement together.
So a longer one. Medium length and a short one, again, just group those hold them all in
the same place on your little branch like that.
Simple, take a piece of your pre-cut floral type and secure those in place.
So now you have a pretty little bunch of flowers and foliage, straightforward.
But then take my clippers.
And I've got my leg stuck to that trim off your ends here, just below your type.
Those are quite difficult to cut through, heavy pressure, Clippers will do that, no
problem. So now you have perfect little display.
So this could obviously be used for lots of different purposes.
In my case, I'm going to use this for my insurance tucked in tightly.
I have another one that I've already created.
So now I have two of these little pieces.
So that's what you need to work with, is two little bunches together like that.
There's a lot of things you could do with this, obviously just on its own, if you want to
put that in a little part or container.
But in this case, I'm going to take these two branches, two little bundles, and I'm going
to secure them together to form a little swag.
So if you can see that together like that, that would be how it's going to be held
together. So I'm going to take some more flowers type and secure those two pieces
together. Make sure you have a nice long piece of the tape.
I love this stuff, it's great to work with sticks to itself.
Agreement obviously is perfect with the foliage that you don't see it too much, so across
over the stems of your two branches and you want to kind of keep them in a not a straight
across way, but in I kind of angled way like this and secure those together.
Now, you could use these together like this for a lot of things, if you wanted to put it
across the top of a mirror, for example, create a swag to hang on the door that just like
that, like you could literally have these two pieces, like together and swag form like
that, put a pretty bow on it and just hang that on your door just in the way it is like
that. But in our case, I want to secure this now to our base.
So once you have those two secured, you want to position that on your wrist just like
this. So hopefully you can see how that's coming along.
Make sure you have some long pieces here of your greenery.
It looks quite effective having them splayed out to the sides like that.
And you can either having it positioned so that it goes diagonally across the top or you
can try and curb these slightly more.
So if you just positioned the two pieces slightly more perpendicular to each other and
position it on so it sits on the roof, slightly more in around it kind of way.
So once you have that position where you want to put it and then take some more of your
tape, or you can use a wire like 28 gauge wire for this would also work very well.
But, uh, I'm going to use the tape because I have that handy next to me here.
And just feed this through your reef base and then around your display.
You would do the same thing with wire if you had that handy, so just position that
around, make sure it sticks to itself and secure it tightly in place.
You can put the glue onto the pumpkin or onto the arrangement, whichever works for you.
Just make sure they're sort of secure in place.
Love this hot glue at all is very effective.
Very quick for craft projects.
I want to doing a little cluster of these in here with glue strings.
So there we go. We can see that on camera is quite effective.
The orange pumpkin's with a little flowers and the beautiful preserved greens makes a
lovely little display.
So I think I like that just the way it is.
I might just tweak that off camera slightly, but I think for now that's perfectly lovely
arrangement and would look beautiful on any door.
Or you could hang it on a mirror inside if you want to put it over your mantelpiece,
would look lovely on a mirror or in a living room, wherever you like to put that.
So hopefully enjoy that project.
