Carving pumpkins can be messy so why not skip the pumpkin carving this year and try some of these pumpkin decorating ideas instead. Some of these are fun crafts for the whole family or perfect for anyone who wants some pretty home decor this autumn.

I’ve got a ton of no-carve ideas that I think you’re going to love. There’s some that use paint, stencils, glitter, markers and even tassels.

Some use real pumpkins that last a season and some use plastic pumpkins. The best thing about no carve fake pumpkins is that you can reuse them year after year.
