PUMPKIN TOPIARY

I've been avidly following all the autumn decorating posts on Pinterest and decided to make my own Pumpkin Topiary.  So off to Michaels I went today to get my "fake" pumpkins. 

For each topiary I purchased:  

• Large Orange Pumpkin
• Med White Pumpkin
• Small green pumpkin
• 7 ft Leaf garland with berries
• Small pumpkin/leaf filler for the top
• Bag of green Spanish moss  

I used tomato plant stakes and hot glue to put it all together.  To make the topiary:

• I cut a hole in the bottom of the small green pumpkin and then hot glued the filler to the top.  
• I cut a hole in the bottom of the med white pumpkin
• I hot glued these 2 pumpkins together.
• I cut a hole in the bottom and top of the large orange pumpkin.  
• I then threaded the tomato stake through it and into the Med white pumpkin 
• I hot glued the Large orange pumpkin to the White/Green pumpkins.  
• I place the pumpkin topiary with stake into a large decorative urn.  
• I hot glued the leaf garland around the topiary.
• Finally I filled in the bottom with green Spanish moss.

I think they look great!  I am going to add orange mini lights to the garland for Halloween so that they will glow at night.
