Remove the tags and stems from the pumpkins (set stems aside for later). Paint one pumpkin with dark orange paint and the other with medium orange paint. Set aside to dry and apply a second coat if required.

Paint the wooden dowels with brown paint and then remove some of the paint with a baby wipe. Set aside to dry.

Attach a foam ball to the bottom of each clay pot using a glue gun and glue sticks. Insert the wooden dowel into the center of the foam ball, securing it with glue. Insert the wooden dowels into the bottom of the pumpkins to create a hole. Remove the pumpkin from the dowel, apply glue to the top of the dowel, and secure it into the pumpkins.

Basecoat the pumpkin stems with black paint and set them aside to dry. Add a second coat if required.

On the dark orange pumpkin, use a round foam applicator to create a polka dot pattern with bright orange paint and set it aside to dry. On the other pumpkin, paint a plaid pattern with a flat paintbrush and dark orange paint and set it aside to dry.

Draw an outline around the polka dots using a black marker, making the lines sketchy and loose. Add a thin plaid pattern using a black marker, making the lines sketchy and loose.

Glue the black stems back into the top of each pumpkin.

Attach some ribbon around the rim of the clay pots with a glue gun. Tie additional ribbon into a bow and glue it to the front of the pot. Trim the ends with scissors.

To finish, fill the clay pots with reindeer moss and display them where desired.
