Happy Fall Y'all Pumpkin Topiary
You will need these items to complete.
1. 4 plastic pumpkins
2. spray paint
3. rocks
4. vinyl letters (or you can paint them on)
5. fall decor for the top
6. piece of Styrofoam
7. Hot glue gun and glue
I used a Metallic color for the one I did. You can use what ever color you want. I have seen versions of these done in black, white or a cream color.
You can change the words to what ever you want. I know my sister up North said she wouldn't put the Y'all but I am in the south so it works well.
I would think if you wanted it outside you might need to come up with a way to stack it on a large base to keep it from tipping in the wind. You could use a large flower pot or urn and fill it with rocks and have something over the top to glue the bottom pumpkin too. I may try one for my outdoor fall decor.
Another idea that I have seen is to put your house numbers on instead of words.
The total cost for this one about $20
Just love how it turned out.
Enjoyed the project?

I think I would make it more real with a stick going up the middle and set on an urn or large pot. it could still be easily taken apart for storage. also the idea of maybe painting half the pumpkins. so one could turn it to the jack o lanterns. -

Do them three High spray paint them white and turn them into a Snowman. Put a top hat on the top and without a face just write let it snow on each pumpkin or actually put the buttons and a face on

I am trying to do this. Using 651 vinyl, tried applying the first word and the contact paper pulled the paint off (though I cleaned the pumpkin with acetone before I sprayed it, and dried it for 3 days). WELP!!! I was SO looking forward to this on my porch.

I love it love it!! I bought the pumpkins last year after Halloween for about 23 cents each. I think 6 each. I'm going to try this I just need to go to HomeDepot and buy the paint. I will have to improvise on the lettering. I will definitely post a pic. Thanks for sharing!

Have a question about this project?
Love your pumpkins. I just purchased a Cricut machine and as I'm a newbie, I wondered if you would be so kind to share with me the font style and size you used for your wording? Thank you so much!
