We used zip ties to position the pumpkins where we wanted them to stay. It looks better when the pumpkins are in all different directions. The beauty of this archway is that it doesn’t need to be perfect. My husband used a drill to cut holes into the pumpkins to allow for the Jack O’ Lanterns to slide right onto the PVC pipe. We used multiple zip ties to create a stopper for the PVC pipe so that it wouldn’t rest on the ground. The PVC caps also were drilled at the bottom so that they could be placed over the rebar for support. The rebar was hammered into the ground enough so that half was in the dirt and half was above the surface. We laid down the PVC archway and decided where the pumpkins were going to go. The PVC pipes were cut down into smaller pieces so that we can easily store this decoration during the off-season. We bought two 4 foot rebar rods, 1″ width PVC pipes, connectors and zip ties from Lowe’s. My husband used a hot knife to carve the faces. I really like how easy it is to cut from files that are not within the Silhouette library! I quickly was able to import my own Jack O’ Lantern face styles without issue.

The company upgraded my software to the Studio Designer Edition in exchange for my feedback. To help guide with carving and having some variety in faces, I used my Silhouette cutting machine and vinyl.

I purchased them from various craft stores. We used 24 craft pumpkins in orange and white (they are hollow on the inside and make for easier carving). Many thanks to Lowe’s Home Improvement for partnering with me on this project! We stumbled upon Living to DIY with Rachel Metz and really liked this archway. My husband and I were looking for a great archway that could transition from Halloween to fall harvest and through Thanksgiving. But since I am weird (and totally ok with that) I put them up in September! I would have my pumpkins, Jack O’Lanterns and skeletons up in August if it wouldn’t be considered ‘weird’. It’s no secret that I have a slight (ok, huge) obsession with all things Halloween.
