We’re pumpkin crazy!
And pumpkin elegant, too. Simply going vertical changes the ‘pumpkin game’ completely! Since these orange squash are our favorite items of Halloween and Fall décor, you need to know how to stack it up!
These are easy projects we all can do in a day or a weekend!
Sheila Bowden’s pumpkin stack
Sheila Bowden’s pumpkin stack is the focal point of her porch display. Three vertical elements, the scarecrow, pumpkin stack and the wooden wagon filled with Fall leaves fill the space with Autumn splendor and whimsy.
Sue Loring’s pumpkin tower
Sue Loring says ‘Colors of Fall’ means pumpkins at my house. Lots and Lots of pumpkins! A metal rod or conduit pipe used as a stake stabilizes the tall, tall pumpkin stack. See the project below for how to.
