50 No-Carve Pumpkin Decorating IdeasEach year I look forward to decorating pumpkins during the Fall for both Halloween and Thanksgiving.  Unfortunately, in Arizona you can’t have pretty carved pumpkins longer than a day.  The weather here is too warm in the month of October and November and the pumpkins just shrivel up and die after that first day.  So for several years I’ve been doing the next best thing which is No-Carve pumpkins, and each year I love coming up with new designs or colors to decorate our pumpkins with.  The best part is there is no slimy pumpkin mess to clean up!  Here are 50 No-Carve Pumpkin Decorating Ideas to help inspire your fall decorating.

No carving required? Now that's an idea we can cozy up to! Start with a white pumpkin, such as a lumina (or paint a regular pumpkin a matte white). Wrap electrical tape in green, red, yellow, and blue ($9 for assorted pack of six; amazon.com) around the pumpkin, taking care to make sure all lines are evenly spaced and that all seams meet in the same area. For black lines, cut 5-inch-long pieces of electrical tape in half and apply to pumpkin as shown.

Add homespun charm to your decor with our tepee and campfire. Download and print our cross-stitch patterns. (Adjust pattern size as needed.) Tape onto artificial, carvable pumpkins (store.funkins.com). (Trust us: You'll want to display these year after year.) Punch through the pattern's cross-stitch points with an awl (walmart.com). Use a jab saw (homedepot.com) to cut an opening in the bottom of both pumpkins large enough for your hand to work inside. Cross-stitch using a tapestry needle and yarn (Lion Brand Yarn in Seaspray, Oliveish, and Mustard; joann.com). For tepee support poles and campfire logs, adhere twigs with hot-glue.

 A passel of pumpkins provides the backdrop for a quaint village scene. Step 1: Carve a hole in the bottom of each pumpkin, scoop out the pulp, and return the cut pieces. Step 2: Print out these house templates. Resize on a copier, scaling the images to fit your pumpkins. Step 3: Cut out stencils as directed on the templates and affix to pumpkins with masking tape. Trace on the designs with a felt-tip pen. Step 4: Remove stencils, then carefully carve along the drawn lines of the houses' windows with an X-Acto knife. Fill in the designs using a fine-tip brush and black flat acrylic paint; let dry. Affix a battery-operated votive candle in the base of each pumpkin with adhesive putty.
