September 19, 2013 by Rachel 8 Comments


Do you love pumpkins, but hate the mess? Or maybe you love the mess, but want some fun pumpkin decor that will last longer than a week? Check out these fun and modern ways to decorate pumpkins without using a carving knife.

1. Paint Dipped Pumpkins via Ciera Design
2. Nail Head Trim Pumpkins via Lovely Indeed

3. Glittered Gold Pumpkins via Yesterday’s Sweetheart
4. Neon Geometric Pumpkins via Hello Lidy

5. Funky Ombre Pumpkins via Funky Time
6. Beautifully Painted Pumpkins via Perfectly Imperfect

7. Chevron Painted Pumpkins via Lolly Jane
8. Neon and White Pumpkins via For the Love of…

9. Tissue Paper and Gold Pumpkins via Paper & Stitch

11. Mod Podge Botanical Pumpkins via Uncommon Designs
12. Glitter Frosted Pumpkins via Peacoats and Plaid

What about you? Do you prefer decorating pumpkins or getting all messy and cutting into them? I really enjoy both, but I do especially like how long these no-carve pumpkins will last (especially when you use plastic ones.)

    I love all of these! Great finds. I just finished a cream felt pumpkin and I think I might want to keep it up year round!

    Wondering what kind of paint do I use to paint on the pumpkins ? I hate the mess n love these ideas but don’t know how to do it. I’m not a very crafty person. Please help with steps on how I can paint

      I usually just use acrylic paint and it works well. I usually start by spray painting the pumpkin with a flat white spray paint to act as a base. It really helps. You could probably skip this step though and just paint directly on the pumpkins.
