Layer the Decorations: Start layering your small pumpkins around the base of the plant. Alternate between black and white pumpkins for a striking look, or use orange pumpkins for a classic Halloween vibe.
Add the Skeleton Hands: Insert the skeleton tongs into the plant, positioning them so they appear to be reaching out from the foliage. Adjust them until you’re happy with the placement.
Light It Up: Wrap the battery-powered fairy lights around the plant or weave them through the decorations. Hide the battery pack at the back of the pot or tape it securely to the pot’s back to keep it out of sight.
