Even though it is still 95 degrees outside, in Florida, I am getting into the Fall spirit- this is my favorite time of year! I ran across this pumpkin topiary and had to post it! I found this on http://www.tatertotsandjello.blogspot.com/
This is a 15 minute project.
If you want to make one, here is the tutorial:
Supplies:
-3 pumpkins in 3 different sizes
-some stickers
-a 3 foot long wooden dowel (you can find them at any hardware store)
-off-white spray paint
-some medium-width ribbon
-black paint
-some glue dots or a glue gun

-off-white spray paint
-some medium-width ribbon
-black paint
-some glue dots or a glue gun
Directions:
-Spray paint your wooden dowel and let it dry.
-Take the largest pumpkin and paint large circles over it in a random pattern. Let dry.
-Take the two smaller sized pumpkins and apply your stickers to the center front side of each.
-Once your dowel is dry, stick it into your pot deep enough so that it is securely anchored.
-Take a large knife and cut a hole in the top and bottom of your largest pumpkin. The hole should be just big enough for the dowel to fit through.
-Slide the pumpkin down the dowel so it sits at the bottom.
-Do the same thing to the middle sized pumpkin.
-Cut a hole at the bottom only -- of the smallest pumpkin. This hole needs to be very tight -- make it small.
-Push the top of the dowel through the small hole of the smallest pumpkin and secure using 3-D glue dots or a glue gun.
-Wrap ribbon around the middle of the biggest pumpkin and secure using glue dots or a glue gun.
-Cut 3 lengths of ribbon that are long enough to wrap around the wood dowel. Secure the ribbon to the dowel using glue dots or a glue gun.
