As the leaves change and the nights grow longer, it is time to start preparing for Halloween.
Get your porch ready for trick or treaters this Halloween season with a modern Outdoor Pumpkin Topiary to fit your favorite Halloween decor aesthetic.
TOOLS USED:
4V Cordless Rotary Tool Starter Kit
18V ONE+™ HP Cordless Brushless Performance Drill
18V ONE+™ Cordless Glue Gun
MATERIALS USED:
6.3mm Dowel
Dry Foam
Faux Moss
Faux Pumpkins
Halloween Decor
Large Plant Pot
Mini String Lights
STEP 1
Add a few layers of circular cut dry foam to an outdoor pot. Alternatively you can also use sand if you do not have foam at home.
STEP 2
Cut off the stems of the pumpkins on two of the faux pumpkins using the 4V Cordless Rotary Tool Starter Kit.
STEP 3
Line up all of the pumpkins to determine where each will attach to each other. Use a spade bit to drill a hole in the bottom of each pumpkin with the 18V ONE+™ HP Cordless Brushless Performance Drill.
STEP 4
Mark where the bottom hole in each pumpkin will line up with the top. With the 18V ONE+™ HP Cordless Brushless Performance Drill, drill a hole in two of the tops of the pumpkins without stems.
STEP 5
Mark where the topiary will be placed in the pot. Apply a dot of hot glue with the 18V ONE+™ Cordless Glue Gun and stick the dowel into the foam.
STEP 6
Thread mini string lights through a pumpkin. Place each pumpkin down onto the dowel, with the pumpkin with the stem on the very top.
STEP 7
Apply moss and decor around the areas where the pumpkins connect and around the base where the foam is using hot glue.
