Stacking pumpkins

Hope the pumpkins are the kind with flat tops :o) I would cut the stems as short as possible and use pumpkins as flat as possible, top and bottom. Fill a small black trash bag with sand and tie it shut. Leave it "smooshy" so you can use it for a base. Do the same for the top of the base pumpkin and the one above it. They are free so they can be lighted, if that is what you are doing, and should be pretty stable unless it gets windy or the pumpkin smashers find it. You could also use modeling clay, perhaps, to stick them together; cheap, sticky, maleable and disposable. Is this a centerpiece, outdoor or indoor dec?

Don't use real pumpkins. There are lots of plastic ones out there.Then you don't have the nonuniformity, weight, etc. to worry about and attaching them to a base and each other gets to be whole lot easier.

I'm going to cut the top and/or bottom out of each pumpkin so that they fit into each other.

It will be for indoor use -- in a window.

That is a good idea and I saw some in a craft store yesterday. It would also have the advantage of not rotting and could be used next year.

The only problem is that this is for my 6 y/o grandson and then he wouldn't get to carve the faces.

Hey, I remember that band. They were pretty cool, until they sold out.

This is Turtle.

I would make something using small tomato cages. The Jack-O-Lanterns can rest in the metal hoops.
