fall décor guide: fall sunflower stacked pumpkin topiary
| Step 1 |
Fill a large clay pot with floral foam and set aside. |
| Step 2 |
To attach the stacked pumpkins you will need to poke a hole under each pumpkin with a pointed strong instrument like a screwdriver. Once all holes are in place you will use a long dowel to connect the top pumpkin to the middle pumpkin. TIP: If the dowel is to long you will need to cut it to the correct size with the wire cutters. |
| Step 3 |
Repeat Step 2 to attach the middle pumpkin to the bottom pumpkin. Now you will place a dowel into the bottom pumpkin. Use a little hot glue to hold the dowels in place. |
| Step 4 |
Push the exposed dowel into the potted floral foam leaving a 3” gap between the foam and the pumpkin. |
| Step 5 |
Set the pot into the wooden planter box. |
| Step 6 |
Wrap the coiled garland around the pumpkins and use floral pins to hold it in place. |
| Step 7 |
Build the floral arrangement into the exposed floral foam under the pumpkin. Cut stems as needed for a variety of heights and bend outward. |
| Step 8 |
Add some sand to the base of the wooden planter to help keep it balanced. |
| Step 9 |
Fill the remaining wood planter with moss to cover up the pot and floral foam. |
| Step 10 |
| Accent the moss with small pumpkins. Share your project photos with #MakeItWithMichaels |
