Step-by-Step DIY Assembly Guide
- Secure the Pedestal BaseWipe down your glass candlestick holders so the glue adheres properly. Apply a generous ring of hot glue along the top rim of the pedestal, then firmly press your largest pumpkin down onto the glass until the glue sets completely.
- Prep & Stack the Layered PumpkinsGently pop off or cut away the stems from the bottom and middle pumpkins so the layers sit flush (keep the stem on the top mini pumpkin intact). Add a heavy dab of hot glue to the top center of the base pumpkin, press the middle pumpkin into place, and repeat for the smallest top pumpkin.
- Add Warm Ribbon & Twine DetailsWrap thick jute twine around the seam where the bottom and middle pumpkins meet, finish with a neat bow, and secure it with a tiny dot of glue. Next, layer your burlap and plaid ribbons into a full bow and glue it right at the base of the top pumpkin.
- Tuck in Autumn FoliageTuck small faux maple leaves, tiny pinecones, and bright autumn berries into the ribbon bows. Anchor each piece with a quick dab of hot glue to create a lush, professional finish.
Pro Decorating Tips
- Vary the Height: Look for candlestick holders of slightly different heights at the thrift shop to create visual interest on a console table.
- Weatherproof Your Porch Display: If placing these outdoors on a windy porch, fill the hollow bottom of the glass pedestals with decorative rocks or place the topiaries inside tall glass lanterns for extra weight and protection.
