How to Make a Fall Yard Display That Lasts Through Thanksgiving

Things You'll Need:

  • Corn stalks
  • 3 bales of straw
  • mums - as many as you like- they are beautiful
  • scarecrow on a stick
  • pumpkins - as many as you like
  1. Step 1

    First of all you need 3 bales of straw. Set them up like you want in your front yard in a display position. Example: 2 in a v shape and the 3rd one on top of the back of the v. Then put your scarecrow on a stick in the back tied to the bales of straw so he's sticking up higher than the straw.

  2. Step 2

    Next start sitting your mums around in pots on the straw and on the ground. Start creating the display by placing them where they need to be around the straw bales and on the bales. I put trays under each mum so you can keep them watered. You want them to last until the first frost.

  3. Step 3

    Lastly, Place the pumpkins around the bales and on the bales of straw, in between the mums. It all works together to make this beautiful display in your yard that portrays all of Fall!!!! Love to see this.
    Then when Halloween comes, put a giant Pumpkin carved out in front.
    This scene will last through Thanksgiving weekend. Then you take it down and put out your Christmas scenes and decorations.
