If you took a virtual tour of my home this week, you may have noticed that I loooove bringing nature indoors when I decorate for the seasons. And in the fall, there’s one thing in nature that’s plentiful and so fun to decorate with: pumpkins! Check out these amazing 25 pumpkins you don’t have to carve. I love no carve pumpkins!
One of my favorite things to do early each autumn is drive to one of the nearby farms and load up the truck with pumpkins and gourds of all shapes, colors, and sizes. Over the years, I’ve decided that since I really don’t enjoy scooping out pumpkin guts and trying to carve faces with a slippery knife. Instead, I much prefer painting pumpkins.
Lately, I’ve been spotting all kinds of fun and innovative ways to paint or decorate pumpkins (both real and fake). Take a look at this collection of creative ways to jazz up Autumn’s mascot.
