these are very easy in fact I'm mad I ordered VPH toppers (H224558) very overpriced ($50+) for so little☹️ stuff.  They are very easy to make and most craft stores sell swag greenery.

 

Suggestion:  Go to local craft store 

purchase thinner swag & some greenery, picks and pre-made (or make one) bow.  You can wire together and put on pumpkin & fluff it.

 

These pics show how easy they are!

I took a class at Michael's 2 years ago and learned how to make a topper for a pumpkin. We selected our supplies in the store and the instructor showed us how. It was a lot of fun and I chose a cream colored pumpkin. I was surprised at how easy it was to make. A glue gun is essential for doing this project. You could look on the Michael's website for directions or a possible virtual class.

Those are beautiful! 

 

I purchased three pumpkins (one large & two small) to put on my front porch today.  However I'm too lazy to make the toppers...I will get a few mums and add them to some pots.

Those are gorgeous! Not sure I have the energy to make them this year - I have already stored away the fall stuff I didn't use this year and am now getting organized for Christmas. I think I'll be having some house guests in a couple of weeks and I need to get things ready.

Re: PUMPKIN TOPPERS

[ Edited ]

These are very versatile---pumpkins, lanterns, candle displays, even use them for Christmas tree toppers with the appropriate seasonal items....

 

I'd check Hobby Lobby for a sale, I think their floral/greenry is better quality....and they usually will have a sale sometime on picks and things 40% to 50% off....

@homedecor1 - I bought these toppers also, and am a little disappointed in them.  I may return them and eat the shipping.  They should have at least put a good twisty on them to secure them to whatever.  I can easily make these, but I took the lazy way out.
