How To Decorate Your Pumpkin Like A Pro

October 28, 2014 by Lauren Sena 16 Comments

Written by Lauren Sena

Apparently the idea of a typical orange jack-o-lantern is becoming outdated. There’s a whole new world of decorative pumpkins out there now, filled with paint, glitter and other fun embellishments. Here are 13 charming carvings and designs from around the web that will inspire you to make your pumpkin stand out this Halloween.

Fanged Pumpkins

vampire-pumpkin-1011mld106876_vertI’m not sure if these silly vampire faces from Martha Stewart are trying to be scary by baring their teeth, or are laughing in evil delight. Either way, they are adorable and, better yet, simple to make.

Confetti Dot Pumpkin

confetti-dot-pumpkinIf you can get your hands on a white pumpkin or have the time to paint one yourself, here’s a super easy way to add some contrast to it, as found on A Subtle Revelry. Simply push paper brads (yup, those little two-pronged paper fasteners) into the pumpkin to create a colorful decoration for your front porch.

Owl Pumpkin

brett_bara_owl_pumpkinThis owl, spotted on MAKE, is a creative alternative to a smiling pumpkin face. A taller pumpkin will work best for carving out this sweet birdie.

Hand Sketched Sharpie Pumpkins

Black-and-White-Hand-Sketched-Sharpie-Pumpkins-at-thehappyhousie.com-5Fun Sharpie doodles add interest to painted white mini pumpkins, as seen on The Happy Housie. Try grouping a bunch of them together to show off multiple designs or go big and make a statement with one large black-and white pumpkin.

Gauzy Glow Pumpkin

101230477.jpg.rendition.largestA mummified pumpkin is a great idea if you’re looking for something with a bit of spook to it. This one, from Better Homes and Gardens, is sure to catch the attention of trick-or-treaters.

Watercolour and Gold Pumpkins

watercolor-and-gold-pumpkins1I love the look of these bright pumpkins from Nest of Posies, especially when they are pictured together. Glitter and gold stems are the perfect final touch.

Donut Pumpkins

DIY-Donut-Pumpkins2-600x900How cute are these donut pumpkins from Studio DIY? They are painted using acrylic paint and are deliciously easy to create!

Spider Web Pumpkin

Halloween-Craft-How-to-Spider-Web-PumpkinThis straightforward no-carve pumpkin from Woman’s Day is wrapped with twine and embellished with plastic spiders to make your skin crawl.

Crayon Drip Art Pumpkin

crayon-drip-largeI love this cool design from The Swell Designer, created by melting a spectrum of crayons over a white pumpkin. Best of all, there’s no way you can make any mistakes with this abstract project and your pumpkin will be totally unique.

Funky Ombre Pumpkins

ombre-painted-pumpkin-622x829Ombre isn’t just for your hair, ladies—the gradual colour change happens to look good on pumpkins, too. This vibrant design from Funkytime is the result of three separately painted sections blended together with a cotton ball.

Metallic Pumpkins

6a00d8341c766153ef019affeba50c970b-500wiThese pumpkins from Balzer Designs are so gorgeous—they look like something you’d purchase from a home décor store. Metallic spray paint takes these pumpkins to another level and paint markers let you get as detailed as you’d like with the designs.

Glittered Pumpkins

ml1004_1006_glitterpum_vertI am drawn to anything that sparkles, so I obviously got excited when I saw these pumpkins by Martha Stewart. These dazzling gourds would look lovely either indoors or outdoors, and would also make for stunning décor at a fall wedding.

Chalkboard Paint Pumpkins

ss_pumpkin_2_350A simple way to have fun with your pumpkin, as seen on Every Day with Rachel Ray: paint it with black chalkboard paint and write spooky messages or countdown the days to Halloween.

    Home improvement is plumbing and electrical work. Upgrading or repairing plumbing systems, such as fixing leaks, replacing old pipes, or installing new fixtures, can improve water efficiency and prevent potential damage. Similarly, electrical improvements, like updating wiring, adding outlets, or installing energy-efficient lighting, not only enhance safety but also provide convenience and modernize the home’s electrical infrastructure.การ์ดแต่งงาน

    Should the average homeowner know anything about home building and construction? Ideally, the answer to this question should be no because it is expected that the contractor be the one to take care of everything for the homeowner. The problem is that there are a lot of things that calls for some awareness on the part of the homeowner as far as knowledge about home construction is concerned.selling a house uk

    Hi
    A very easy home improvement project that will add a new look to the exterior of your home is to pressure wash the concrete driveway. Over the course of a short season, a concrete driveway will get dirty and grungy. Simply rent a pressure washer and wash the driveway. The process is not hard but it is a slow process.Czajka24

    The part where you mentioned that faulty garage doors can be loud made me think of our own. It has been producing noises that are unfamiliar to us and although we have used it for years, this is the first time it did that. It would probably be safer to hire a professional who can check it for any issue that needs repair.Polish Concrete

    All the tips you were given was great. Whenever we are doing faucet repairs make sure turn off the water supply. Minor plumbing problems like these can be handled by most casual DIYers, but don’t hesitate to call a plumbing contractor if you’re in over your head.https://completeroofingsolutions.co.nz

    Well, no one can deny the wonderful fact that the mirror reflects the symbol of absolute elegance. If you are planning to place something huge yet impressing then you can blindly trust that, mirror is the ultimate solution. When it comes about fabricating the artistic grace to your dwelling, the mirror makes it indeed praiseworthy. It provides the royal look to your walls. So, one must consider the placement of mirror over the corner of the walls will chalking out the abstraction for residence.Garage
