Stacked Pumpkin TreeI found these neat paper mache pumpkins and wanted to use them on my fireplace mantel. I decided to make them into a stacking "tree".

Supplies:

Steps:

  1. Select 3 pumpkins that are small, medium, and large.

  3. Cut the stems off of the large and medium sized pumpkins. I suggest cutting less off at first, then removing small amounts until they stack well.

  9. Clear coat each pumpkin. I recommend applying more than one coat. Follow label instructions.
  10. Stack the pumpkins and enjoy! Note: You can glue them together if you want. I chose not to, so that storing them until next year is easier.

stuffing some moss or feathers in-between would soften and enhance the appearance, i think.
