Pool Noodle Pumpkin Towers

Materials
3 pool noodles (orange colored or paint them orange)
3 tomato cages
Hot glue gun and glue sticks
Brown twine or thick yarn
Green felt or faux leaves
Scissors
Optional: Orange spray paint

Directions
Cut each pool noodle into segments that are roughly 4 inches in height. These will form the ‘pumpkins’ for the tower.
If your pool noodles are not orange, spray paint them and allow them to dry completely.
Take a tomato cage and invert it so that the pointed ends are facing upwards. These will act as the stems of your pumpkins.
Begin threading the pool noodle segments onto the inverted tomato cage, stacking them one on top of the other until the cage is fully covered.
Secure each segment with hot glue to ensure they stay in place.
Once the pool noodle segments are secured, wrap the top pointed ends of the tomato cage with brown twine or thick yarn to create a stem effect.
Cut out leaf shapes from the green felt or attach faux leaves around the top of the noodle segments for a realistic touch.
Repeat the process for the remaining tomato cages to create a set of towers.

Variations & Tips
To personalize your Pool Noodle Pumpkin Towers, consider experimenting with different colors of pool noodles to create a patch of uniquely colored pumpkins. You can also embellish the towers with fairy lights for an enchanting glow in the evening. For a more rustic look, use burlap ribbon instead of twine for the stems, or add small decorative gourds and pinecones around the base. If you want to add a bit of sparkle, consider using glitter spray on the pool noodles before stacking them. This DIY can be adapted to various themes or holidays by simply changing the color scheme and decorative elements.
