This year my friend Tory had an idea from the DIY network to make stacked pumpkin topiaries. Here's the link if anyone is interested. I did mine a little differently, but I love how they turned out. Way easy! I added the instructions below if anyone is dying to know! I love fall decorating. Each topiary cost me about $12 to make.
4. Put the pumpkins on the urn, swirled a cute garland around and tied a ribbon--and it was done.
3. I found the cheapest pumpkins, that I liked, at Wal*Mart. Painted a little brown in the creases to add a little depth. As I was painting them Taylor was watching me and I was telling her about adding depth with color and she was very confused--"Why do you want to add death to the pumpkins?" Anyway, then I stacked them and used a metal rod down through the middles to connect them to some floral foam inside the urn.
2. I added brown on the top of the black to make a dark brown.
1. I already had these urns from a wedding. They were originally tan and so I painted them black first.
Here's an easy pumpkin recipe from my friend Maegan:
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
2 Spice Cake Mixes
1 Large Can of Pumpkin Pie filling
1 Bag of Chocolate Chips
Mix everything together. Drop onto cookie sheet. Bake 20 minutes at 350 degrees.

VERY cute. You are way too crafty... does thtat have something to do with why you are a witch every Halloween?
You are so creative, it looks so cute! You can share ideas anytime!
I agree! You always have wonderful ideas and are so good at everything. Your Pumpkins look adorable. I went and grabbed my Halloween decorations out of the basement and, well, let's just say they aren't as cute. Josh didn't even want me to put them up. Maybe I will have to get crafty.
