Pumpkins offer endless possibilities for festive and imaginative decor, making them the perfect canvas for expressing your creativity during the fall season. From beautiful bursts of color to whimsical transformations, there’s a pumpkin decorating idea to suit every style.
Enchanting Forest
Bring the enchanting beauty of the forest to your fall decor by creating a forest-inspired pumpkin. Start by cutting off the stem of your pumpkin. Then, layer the top with moss to create a lush forest floor before attaching faux mushrooms and other woodsy accents using hot glue. The result is a whimsical centerpiece that will transport you to a magical woodland realm.
Rainbow Meltdown
This method works best with a white pumpkin for a vibrant contrast. Unwrap and break crayons into small pieces. Secure them to the top of the pumpkin with a glue gun, working your way down in rows. Use a hairdryer on a low setting to melt the crayons, guiding the drips with its airflow to create a colorful, drippy masterpiece! When making your melted crayon pumpkin, be sure to place parchment paper underneath to protect your surface.
Blooming Beauty
Embrace the beauty of fall with a flower- covered pumpkin. This might require some patience, but the result is stunning. Using hot glue, carefully attach the faux mums to the surface of the pumpkin, covering it completely to create a gorgeous floral masterpiece that will brighten up any space.
Living Pumpkin Planter
Give your pumpkins a modern and chic makeover by turning them into stylish succulent planters. Begin by carving out a hollow in the top of the pumpkin and removing the seeds and pulp. Fill the cavity with potting soil and plant a variety of succulents. Display your succulent pumpkin indoors or outdoors for a touch of natural beauty that will last throughout the season.
Whimsical Wonders
Who says pumpkins can’t be magical creatures? Transform your pumpkins into whimsical unicorns and enchanting mermaids with a dash of creativity and a splash of color. Use paint, glitter and embellishments to bring these mythical beings to life on your pumpkins, adding a touch of fantasy to your fall decor.
Autumn Harvest Bouquet
Create a stunning centerpiece for your fall table with an autumn harvest bouquet pumpkin. Hollow out the center of the pumpkin and fill it with a bouquet of seasonal flowers, foliage and berries. Choose vibrant hues of orange, red and yellow to capture the colors of autumn and bring warmth and beauty to your decor.
Pumpkin Party
Transform mini pumpkins into adorable jack-o’-lanterns by adding playful faces, then take the creativity up a notch by crafting unique felt hats for each one. With an array of faces, every pumpkin will bring its own personality to the party.
