First, when you are selecting your pumpkins and gourds, grab a variety of sizes, colors, and styles. This will help you create a visually pleasing design.

Next, start with the large pumpkins. Set them up on a bale of hay, on outdoor furniture, and however you feel that they should be set up. Starting with the large pumpkins will help create a stable base for adding more pumpkins around it.

When you have your large pumpkins set and ready to go, set your Indian corn and your medium-sized pumpkins and gourds. Place these around the larger pumpkins, or even add some to the top of your large pumpkins.

Fill in the empty space on your bale of hay to keep your display looking full. Next, add your Indian corn. These beauties create an extra colorful addition and a gorgeous texture.

Fit the corn into any space that needs an extra dash of color. Use the larger pumpkins to hold the corn or place it on top of the pumpkins.
