Fun With Pumpkins

.
Not all pumpkins have to be scary or even necessarily carved in a traditional way. This pumpkin owl is just one of several ideas we have for you today as a way to use this ever popular icon of the season….the pumpkin 🙂

1. Owl Pumpkin
This pumpkin on our cover page appears to have been spray painted white before being carved to look like that wise old owl. You could of course leave him orange or, instead of spray painting, just buy a white pumpkin. Better still why not buy several of different sizes and colors and carve a whole family of owls.

2. Black Cat Pumpkin
A can of glossy black spray paint and your set. Here is a clever way to use a pumpkin to represent that other Halloween icon, the black cat.

4. Colorful Pumpkins –
Melt broken and used crayons or candles and drizzle the melted wax over the pumpkins for deign and color

5. Grumpy Cat Pumpkin

6. Preteen Pumpkin with Braces

7. Bedazzled Pumpkin

8. Pumpkin with Veggies
A few cherry tomatoes, some chiles, some green beans and curly parsley and you’ve got all you need to create a “Mr. Potato Head” out of your pumpkin

9. Mirror Ball Pumpkin –
Cut small squares of silver duct tape and create a “mirror ball”

10 . Sparkle Pumpkin –  
Paint pumpkin with glue and then roll or sprinkle lavishly with Epsom salt to create a glistening finish

Having fun decorating your pumpkins with glitz or paint or a craving knife can only lead to lots of abundant joy and fun for everyone!
