You love everything about fall: the PSL’s, the pretty leaves, the cooler weather, and especially Halloween, but you can’t stand the thought of sticking your hand in a slimy pumpkin and then going through all the work to carve it. Lucky for you, there are other great ways to make adorable decorative pumpkins!
Paint them
Get some cheap paints from your local store, and turn your pumpkins into beautiful works of art with a few strokes of a paint brush (sans pumpkin guts and sharp objects.)
Bedazzle them
Let your inner diva out and make your pumpkin as glam as you are! Simply get some cheap, plastic crystals and Elmer’s glue, and have at it.
Cover them in glitter
Although this option can be messy, it is super fun! Grab some craft glue, (Modge Podge works well) and start by applying a thin layer to a small section of your pumpkin. Put something under the pumpkin to catch excess glitter. Pour the glitter of your choice onto your pumpkin. The thinner the glitter, the more opaque it will go on. If your glitter doesn’t want to stick with the pouring method, you can roll it in the glitter and touch up spots that don’t get coated by pressing the glitter on with your fingers or a damp paint brush.
Add ribbons, stickers, or other embellishments
Buy some cute stickers, patches, ribbons, and anything else your heart desires, and glue them to your pumpkin! Your imagination is the only limit to what you can create.
Spray paint them
Perhaps one of the easiest solutions to pumpkin decorating is to buy some good old’ spray paint, and go to town. Paint it a solid color, or get some painter’s tape to make cool designs! (Always remember to use spray paint in a well-ventilated area and follow all safety instructions.)
Whatever your style, everyone can participate in the pumpkin decorating festivities of fall. Get creative, and have a blast!
