5 No-Carve Pumpkin Ideas That Prove No Mess Means No Stress

Tags:

Decorating pumpkins is one of the highlights of the Halloween season, but let’s face it: Things can get messy and complicated. First, you have to pick the best pumpkin at the pumpkin patch, a feat in and of itself. Then, you have to decide on a pumpkin carving idea. Do you want to go with the classic jack-o-lantern, or do you want to try something more daring, like a dog-o-lantern? Once you’ve settled on a design, you’ll have to take on the task of actually carving your orange gourd. Unfortunately, the masterpiece you had in your head doesn’t always translate to your canvas.

And what about your kids and grandkids? Sure, their cool pumpkin carving ideas might look great, but if they’re too young to hold a pumpkin (let alone handle a knife), do you really want to commit to carving something that will disintegrate in a few weeks? No, thanks!

If you’re looking for easy halloween pumpkin ideas, you’re not alone. Lucky for you, decorating pumpkins without carving is possible. Instead of fretting about carving pumpkins this season, why not try a DIY no-carve pumpkin? 

As the name implies, you get to decorate your gourds with any and everything that tickles your fancy. There’s no “best” no-carve pumpkin idea because they’re all the best idea! From a simple paint job to an all-over glitter bath, these no-carve pumpkin ideas prove you don’t need to get down and dirty to have a pumpkin worth setting on your stoop.
