For the past couple of years I have made this pumpkin topiary with hot glue. It always falls apart, and then came the challenge of storing it. I finally realized that if the pumpkins are foam, I can connect them a different with, with PVC pipe. Using the pipe as a guide, I simply cut a hole in each pumpkin. (The middle pumpkin gets a hole on top and bottom.)

I put a 3" pvc pipe in each hole and connected the pumpkins. This holds better than hot glue and allows me to take it apart for storage.

And here is a glimpse of the finished product. Simple and easy.
