With fall approaching, you may want to know some creative ways to decorate a pumpkin. And you may not want to carve it.

Do you live for DIY’s? Are crafts something you crave? Do you feel like pumpkins are a great canvas for artistic expression? If you said “yes” to any one of those questions, this list is for you.

Pumpkins were meant for more than JUST carving. They are perfect, (most times) orange vessels for your wildest creativity. They can be decorated in a multitude of ways.

  • Drip Painting

    If you’re okay with a mess, this is a fun option for all involved. All you need is a pumpkin and some drippy paint. Pour to your heart’s content and see how lovely the melty colors look.

  • Fabric

  • Studs

    Studs are a fun and easy option for the punks and rockers out there. They are already poke-y, so with no extra supplies required, you can stick some metal studs in your pumpkin. No studs? Thumbtacks work and look relatively the same.

  • Marbled Nail Polish

    This is a cool one if you’re up for a challenge. You’ll need water, nail polish, and a bowl that can fit a pumpkin. Fill the bowl with water and pour as many colors of nail polish as you’d like in the bowl. The polish with float in a thin layer on top of the water. Dunk the pumpkin in and watch the marbled masterpiece transfer right on.

  • Lace

    Lace is a cool, gothic option for decoration. It’s perfectly spooky without too much mess, time, or commitment. Plus, you can pick any color lace you’d like.

  • Crayon Drip

    If you have kids, this is a fun and easy option. Simply take the paper off your crayons, glue them to the top of your pumpkin, and take a hair dryer or heat gun on a low heat setting to them. They will melt and drip their waxy, pretty colors down.

  • Leaves As Stencils

    If you have spray paint and a pile of leaves you just raked in your yard, you’re set. Use any leaves you’d like as stencils on your pumpkin and paint over them. The cool leafy pattern will look perfect for autumn.

  • Glitter
