10 Stylish No Carve Pumpkin Decorating Ideas
Not everyone loves carving pumpkins! I mean the mess is enough to make me opt out of that fall experience. But I do want my pumpkins to look extra cute this year and I have some great ideas to make that happen, even on a tight budget!
- Use craft supplies you already have! Don’t overthink this; if you have paint then paint your pumpkins. If you have stickers, magazines, and paper mache then go for it! Just make it match your style and it will look great!
- Don’t have time? Don’t worry! Some of these ideas are less time-consuming than actually carving pumpkins and will take less time to clean up too! Can you tell I am not a fan of all the pumpkin goo everywhere?
- Let your creative juices flow! Have fun! Your pumpkin doesn’t have to look like it is straight from a magazine or that an artist painted it for it to be cute and fun for fall. Relax and enjoy the project!
