Forget the traditional Jack-O-Lantern for Halloween this year! It's time to step up your pumpkin decorating skills, starting with a few of these unique and amazing ideas!
The Glitter Pumpkin (My favorite!)
Pick out the pumpkins of your choice and lightly paint on a coat of white (or clear) crafting glue. Apply a fine powdered glitter over the pumpkin in a coinciding color! These are the perfect girly halloween decoration!
Cookie Cutter Pumpkins
Hallow out your pumpkins, making the walls as thin as possible. Take your favorite cookie cutter (small size) and press into the walls of the pumpkin for this creative twist on carving! You can line your outdoor walkway with multiple small pumpkins, or put a vanilla cookie scented candle in a large pumpkin in your home for an added treat :)
Lace-Patterned Pumpkins
Cut a hole in the bottom of the pumpkin and take all of the seeds out. Put a piece of tape around the middle of the pumpkin to start your design layout. In order to get those perfect shapes, you can trace a lace pattern OR you can buy some wood carving tools! When finished, place a tea light inside for a simple glow.
Monogrammed Pumpkins
Monogramming is always in style and this year you can try this trend out on your pumpkin. If you can't free-hand the design, you can either purchase a stencil or print the letter off your computer using your favorite font. Once again, cut an opening at the bottom of the pumpkin to avoid the traditional Jack-O-Lantern look!
Spray Painted Pumpkins
If you're not into the traditional colors of pumkins, then this is the perfect pumpkin decoration for you! Take pumpkins of any size and spray paint them the color of your choice. Small pumpkins can be used as name places or mantle decorations, while bigger pumpkins are great centerpieces for your Fall party!
Enjoy!
