I created this whimsical stacked pumpkin display in my new MacKenzie Childs Spookarella Pumpkin Cart. I had my eye on it last year but didn't want to pay as much as they were asking. I happened across it recently and it's on sale for half off. There were 2 sizes originally and this is the smaller one (the only one available now). I've included the link below (not making money on it- just sharing).

It's really cute and when I display it for Halloween I will have it set up with a few other things to make it more festive.
I found the pumpkins at Pier 1. They are sold as a 4 pc. ornament set. Made of styrofoam so they were easy to glue together and stack the way I wanted.
The orange one at the bottom is glued to a larger piece of foam that was sprayed with a little black paint so it would help disguise it. I used some fall blend excelsior to stuff around the foam to keep it in place and add a little texture. I found floral picks with leaves, berries and pumpkins to fill in around the stacked pumpkins. I wanted it to look very "Halloweenish"!
The witche hat was found as part of a three pack at Hobby Lobby (in the floral area). It came with a long stick so you could add it to an arrangement. I cut off the stick and glued it on. I did a lot of hunting to find it and I couldn't be happier!
I won't be displaying this for a while yet but after I found the cart on sale I decided to embellish it. The supplies are good at the craft stores but they start to dwindle so I didn't want to wait. I had noticed a lot of stacked pumpkin creations at the stores which sparked the idea in my head for this. It's going to look real cute once I pair it up with the witch I have to go with it!
I hope you liked my Whimsical Stacked Pumpkins!
Oh Liz, it's awfully cute! I love the black one on the top and it's such a nice tie-in with the black and white!

Thank you so much Kris! I had fun making it- glad you liked it!
DeleteVery cute Liz! It's gonna be at or near 90 all week with high humidity here. Yesterday we lost electricity for 5 hours. I just can't think fall yet.
ReplyDeleteThank you Debbee. Oh boy near 90 in September! Hopefully that won’t last long.
DeleteWhat a cute Halloween decoration! Nothing too scary for the little ones. As always, I enjoy your posts.
