10 Ways to Decorate with Pumpkins

Today is Day 3 of my 10 day series, Family Friendly Fall!  It’s time to have some fun decorating your homes with pumpkins.

If you’d like to see what I offer on the other days, go to my Family Friendly Fall page.

 

I’m not a big fan of the Jack-O-Lantern, but I really love having pumpkins around as fall decorations!  Have you seen how creative people are getting now with pumpkin decor?  There are so many different ways that you can do it!  Below I have highlighted several different bloggers and how they decorate for Fall in the months of October and November.

 

 

 

 1.  Decoupaged Pumpkins

I love how nice and fancy these pumpkins look!

 

2.  Duct Tape Wrapped Pumpkins

Same author as the decoupaged pumpkins above, but she wrapped them with Duct tape instead!  Brilliant!!

 

3.  Pumpkin Man

I absolutely love this blogger’s idea of making a Pumpkin Man.  So super cute!

5.  Celestial Pumpkins

This is a fun idea!  Instead of carving it as a Jack-O-Lantern, carve it into a beautiful piece of art by drilling holes!  I love how it looks at night, all lit up!

 6. White Pumpkins

I love the elegance of the white pumpkins!

 

7.  Fabric Paint Painted Pumpkins

This is a great way to change the look of a white pumpkin and gives it a whole new look.  Creatively simple!

 

8.  Scratched Surface Pumpkins

These are very unique!  You use a clay loop tool to scratch the surface of the pumpkin.
