Some adorable pumpkin ideas are out there. Here are a few of my favorites.

This is an indoor faux pumpkin you could get at any craft store paint black or gold polka dots and set atop some reindeer grass or other fun grass in a simple pot or go all out with a fun urn type pot. Add some ribbon and set at your front door chest or a bathroom counter or on top of your kitchen table as a center piece.

This would be great to make n high quantities and give away as gifts to family and friends for a holiday such as Thanksgiving

Thank You!!




Here is another pumpkin in a pot idea that goes a little further, Just use the sprigs from a craft store and it goes relatively fast.
Fasten the pumpkin by sticking 2-3 wooden skewers glued into some foam fastened to the bottom of the pot.

Items to retrieve:
Pumpkin
Pot
Dry floral Foam or spray foam
Wooded dowels or skewers
Holiday floral sprigs
Ribbon
Hot Glue
Acrylic Paint if you desire to paint the original red clay pot

Child Friendly Pumpkins*
A fun Pumpkin carving idea is to use thumb nails to make your designs or fun faces. Great for kids since carving actually turns into the parents job until they are of age like….10 at least.. Great Alternative.

Paining pumpkins with acrylic paint as well or

Making fun Bebd-a-roos and attaching them to the pumpkin is a fin way as well. Drill small holes around the pumpkin in the desired spots so kids can insert then easily and feel like they really did decorate this pumpkin themselves.

Cut out a funny face or use the stencils the stores provide you with for cutting. Parents cut them out, then get a can of spray paint and have the kids spray the faces on through the paper just like a paint stencil and there you have it, a fun and FAST way to decorate your pumpkin. Using dark colors are preferred.
Items t retrieves: Orange or White Pumpkin
Desired Spray paint color
Stencils
Scissors

JASZZ it UP: A glow in the dark paint would be fun for Halloween night. Or use a white pumpkin and use orange black gold or silver spray paint to really


This pumkin is for Mom and Dad. This would be a perfect center piece for a Halloween Party
Carve a smaller white pumpkin into a skull then place it inside a larger orange pumpkin that had a simple face carved init of your choice. Previously split it in half buy cutting it open or hitting it with a hammer.
