Easy Black and White Stacked Halloween Topiary

Directions

1. Spray paint three of the pumpkins white and the other two black. But first I PRIMED them.
2. Spray paint the dowel black.
3. Drill 1″ holes in the pumpkins. Mark the spot with a sharpie and drill so each one is tilted to each side, alternating.
4. Plant soil and flowers in the pot and put the dowel in the middle.
5. Alternate the pumpkins (white, black, white, black, white, black). On the last pumpkin, do not put the second hole through the top, so the dowel rests against the inside of the top pumpkin.
6. Thread the lights down through the back of the pumpkins and plug them into the extension cord. Tape the cords together with electrical tape so they wouldn't show as much.
