DIY Pumpkin Tower - Halloween Decorations on the Cheap

Still on my Halloween theme, I came across this cute pumpkin tower, that you can make from those plastic pumpkins in all the stores right now for cheap!

With a little bit of DIY, this could make quite a decoration especially in the window or on a covered porch outside the door.  This could be your Halloween night light!  Check out the video:


I found this video by "Love that Bug" of just how to make a quick Halloween door decoration and light.

What you will need:


  • 3 (or more) plastic pumpkins
  • 1 witch hat or something of your choice
  • 1 drill or a way to cut holes in the bottom of the pumpkins
  • 1 plant pot for holding the tower

  • Some rocks or weights to keep it upright and safe.


Method:

Cut the handles off the plastic pumpkins, and then create a hole in the bottom large enough to pass the twinkle lights through.

Cut a hole in the bottom of the plant pot and a notch out of the side so the light wire can pass through.

Turn the planter upside down and start feeding the lights through.

Add a pumpkin and leave some lights in each pumpkin (Note plug the twinkle lights in so you can see just how much light each one is getting)

Add some weight to each pumpkin (a small bring, or rocks)

Add the witches hat to the top.

NOTE:

I think it would look best with a planter that is black, so you could spray paint any plastic planter you have around.

That's it!!

I think this would look awesome on a covered porch (or use outdoor rated twinkle lights) in the main hall or on a table in the living room window to keep it out of the weather but to add some ambiance to your home!
