Anaheim Halloween: How To Decorate a Pumpkin Without Carving

Carving a pumpkin can be messy and downright difficult. Not many of us are carving experts, so why not just skip all the mess and try something different this year? Here is a quick list of three pumpkin decorating ideas.

 

Glitter: instead of carving, just cover your pumpkin in glitter. You can make designs or glitter the entire pumpkin.

 

Paint: you can paint your pumpkin bright colors, go white or black, or even try paint patterns or even a scary face onto it.

 

Glittered stems: try a combo package where you paint the pumpkin and put glitter on the stem. The pumpkin work great as accent pieces.
