Tuesday Trade off with Uncommon Designs!

Hey everyone!  Blogging has quickly become one of my favorite hobbies because not only do I get to share things I do with everyone all at once, but I meet new people and find fabulous new ideas all the time! There are so many talented women out there! 




Today I am particitpating in Uncommon Design's Tuesday Trade off! They have such unique ideas so I'm so excited for them to be sharing this fall decor idea with you guys!

Hi Love, Laugh, and Create readers!  We are so excited to be swapping with Jessi for our weekly series, The Tuesday Trade-Off.  Today we would like to share our Pumpkin Topiary and a few others with you! 
Trish and I just love decorating our homes for Halloween!
Today we would like to show you a trio of pumpkin topiaries and first up is Trish's Halloween  Pumpkin Topiary...
This adorable project was based on this inspiring photo...
This topiary really makes quite a statement on your front porch both in the daytime hours and night as well. The light that shines through is just stunning! Wanna make your own? Here are a few hints and tips to help you out....
  • Make sure you buy your faux pumpkins with a coupon, they can be really pricey!
  • Match up your pumpkins in the store to make sure they are going to fit together well!
  • Make sure you are outside when you cut the bottoms out and drill the holes in the pumpkins, as all that faux pumpkin stuff can be very messy!
  • Wire, glue, or some other way, attach the pumpkins together to ensure that a child  storm does not knock it over!
  • Trish simply used a black sharpie to draw her tree!
  • Lastly, get creative! Trish added a spooky black crow to hers, to tie in her other porch decor!
Here are two other fabulous topiaries we love, to stir your creativity....
The possibilities are truly endless for creating your own, unique little pumpkins! We hope we have inspired you to create your own!!
Thanks for having us today! 
Trish and Bonnie
