Fast & Easy No-Carve Pumpkin-Decorating Ideas! {Creative Mamas Monday}

Since it’s Autumn and Halloween is coming, I thought I would share some no-carve pumpkin-decorating ideas I’ve come across. The thing I really love about these is that most of them are kid-friendly! Check these out:

Pumpkin decoupage! Right up my alley. :-) Especially the leaves – I absolutely love finding and saving different types of leaves. (Better Homes and Garden)

Simple ribbon encircling these small pumpkins gives the place a charming and festive look!

This is genius – different colored pastas! Cute cute.

Decorate your pumpkins with candy! Martha Stewart says to stick the candies on with ball pins, but as the mom of a toddler that kind of scares me. lol You could also glue the candies.

Check out this Edgar Allen Poe decoupaged pumpkin featured on the Mrs. B Blog!
(From last year but oh so awesome)

Guess how the dots were put on the dotted pumpkin on the right? With a black sharpie! So smart. :-) And the other two pumpkins with the intricate designs? Rub-on transfers found in the scrapbook section. Brilliant! :-)

I’m totally in love with this glittered pumpkin idea from Martha Stewart!

Can you tell I like decoupage? :-) Learn how to decoupage ribbon onto a pumpkin at the Ribbonwood Cottage blog!

Not really carving… but sorta. ;-)

I love this polka dot look by Better Homes and Gardens! Just use an apple-corer on different gourds and pumpkins and change them around! Easy and fun. :-)
