Pumpkin Carving and Decorating Ideas for Halloween

If you're not a fan of scooping out sticky, squishy pumpkin guts, why not paint your pumpkin instead? This is a great project to get the kid's creativity going as well. Paint your favorite design, a goofy message, or make yourself a life-size candy corn like these!

Ladies, make use of those old stockings and wrap them around your pumpkin to give it a festive look. This is definitely one of the easiest activities in the patch of pumpkin decorating ideas!

Who doesn't love a little sparkle? Bedazzle your pumpkin by gluing on Halloween-colored gems and sequins that will make it look less like a gourd and more like a gem.

This crater design can be made with an everyday kitchen utensil. Use a melon baller to shave perfect divots into the outer shell of your pumpkin, and make it look like a moon-kin!

This is a project that will definitely require a parent's supervision. Use a power drill to "carve" your pumpkin. This not only gives you some creative freedom, but it also saves you time and effort. 

Who ever said pumpkin carvings had to be scary? Here are dozen of fun Disney character carving templates for all age levels!
