6. Stacked Pumpkin Tower with Greenery

6

Create height and drama with a stacked pumpkin tower. Start with a large pumpkin as your base, then stack a medium pumpkin on top, followed by a small pumpkin at the very top. Secure each layer with a dab of hot glue or a wooden skewer (if using real pumpkins) to keep them steady. Once your tower is built, tuck in fresh or faux greenery like ivy, eucalyptus, or ferns around the base and between the layers. For a finishing touch, add a few small white pumpkins or pinecones at the base.

Materials: Pumpkins in varying sizes, hot glue or wooden skewers, greenery, small white pumpkins or pinecones (optional).

Time: 25 minutes | Difficulty: Beginner

This centerpiece works especially well on long tables where you want to create a focal point that draws the eye upward. If you’re using real pumpkins, choose ones with flat tops and bottoms to make stacking easier. For a more rustic look, leave the pumpkins in their natural state; for a polished look, paint them all the same color.
