With Halloween being right around the corner, you might want to decorate with some pumpkins, but want to try something besides carving them. Below, you will see a few unique ways to decorate your pumpkin!

Pumpkin Painting

Pumpkins are a fun canvas for those that love to paint! It can get every artist in the Halloween spirit! There are a few different base pumpkin colors to choose from; some popular ones are light blue, orange, and white. If you do not like these base colors, you can always paint a new color on the pumpkin!

Pumpkin Succulent

This idea is great for those with a green thumb, or those that just love plants! One way to simplify this is by gluing the succulent to the top of the pumpkin, instead of carving it. You do not have to stick with succulents, you can use your favorite flower for this design as well!

Pumpkin Drilling

This is similar to carving a pumpkin, just a different approach. First, clean out your pumpkin and then you can drill your design. Light candles in the pumpkin for a beautiful glow that will radiate from your front porch!
