Plastic Pumpkin Tower Halloween Decoration DIY

Plastic Pumpkin Tower Supplies

Please note: We are including Amazon links to supplies below, but purchasing supplies this way will not be less than $10. We suggest purchasing the pumpkins from Walmart and the remaining supplies from the Dollar Tree if you can!

• 5-8 plastic pumpkins – various colors (we grabbed ours for about $1 each from Walmart!)
• 1 string of white lights
• Witch Hat
• Gorilla glue hot glue sticks
• Drill (you can also use scissors if you don’t have a drill, but make sure to be extremely careful when cutting plastic)

How to Make a Pumpkin Tower Halloween Decoration

Drill a hole in the back of your base pumpkin.

Pick the pumpkin that will go on the bottom of the tower and drill a hole in the back of that pumpkin.

Drill holes in the bottom of all remaining pumpkins.

In order to run the lights through the plastic pumpkins, we drilled holes through the bottoms of each pumpkin (except for the one that goes on the bottom – see first step).

Build Tower

Place the light string in the base pumpkin and carefully pull the string through the second pumpkin in the stack. I used 8 plastic pumpkins and 100 light string, so I made sure to dedicate around 10 lights per pumpkin in order to balance the light for the tower.

Use hot glue or E6000 to glue the pumpkin to the previous pumpkin by stacking on top of each other. Repeat this step for the remaining pumpkins.

Let glue dry and check for any spots that may need more glue applied.

Secure the base of the pumpkin

Use rocks in the bottom pumpkin or hammer stakes through the bottom to make sure that the pumpkin tower stands on its own.

Decorate

Glue a witch hat to the top of the pumpkin tower and plug your new DIY Halloween decoration in!
