Pumpkin Topiary - Fall Decorating Ideas
Tutorial on making your own pumpkin topiary.
Start by placing a Styrofoam block in your container. Use a dowel to stack your carve-able pumpkins. You will need to remove two stems off of the two bottom pumpkins.
To add a monogram to your pumpkin, print out a letter, and use a few stick pins to hold it in place. Take another stick pin and gentle poke small holes following the lines of your letter.
Play "dot-to-dot" with a pencil and trace the outline of your letter. Paint with acrylic paint, and finish with a spray sealer.
Add some fall florals under the bottom pumpkin. Attach with hot glue.
Now all your topiary needs is a bow!

I love these. I think I will use pumpkins that you can get at a craft store (not plastic) and drill holes in the top and bottom and run the dowel rod through it.

I just got inspired this year to do the Styrofoam pumpkins from Walmart. And wondered if you could drill into or cut these type so glad I came across your post from a few years back. Some of the comments really helped

Have a question about this project?
I did. Keeps getting blown apart. I made it for my niece and I believe that it should be kept in a place where the wind cannot get to it. But she wants it in front of her garage. How do I keep it together? I'm not going to give up!!!!!!
Where did you get the pumpkins from? I can’t seem to find anything similar to the ones you used that don’t cost a fortune
