DIY Pumpkin Tower Fail Video & Front Door Fall Decor Idea
Have you had this happen? You make, what you think is a great DIY craft project. It’s one that looks JUST like the Pinterest pin.
You walk away thinking, “oh, I’ve totally nailed this one. My yard screams fall,” and I really felt like I rocked this one.

Next, it rains for about 2 days. That means your wooden dowel soaked it up, along with the pretty mums, so it wasn’t a total waste ….. But, then on day three you pull into your driveway and laugh your butt off! Check out the video for that visual! hahaha
Now, let me tell you how to make a pretty pumpkin tower.
Supply list:
- Metal Dowel
- Pumpkin Buckets
- Spray Paint if you want
- Drill (for holes in buckets)
- Once you get the right supplies, here’s how easy it was.
- Mum for top bucket
It was so easy to make. Spray paint your buckets. Let dry a day.

I drilled offset holes in each bucket but would do them in the center next time.

That’s it. I stuck the dowel in the dirt and added my pumpkins and flowers in the top one.
I had this old blue strainer that is rusting so added some dollar store flowers and a real pumpkin.
Hope you enjoyed the video and I’d love to see what you made! Craft bloopers and all! Post in the comments or on my Facebook page.
Happy Crafting,

I will be trying this, this weekend. I didn’t realize I would a dowel rod, good info. I will send a pic when I’m finished.
