The days are long gone when pumpkin painting has to be the dreaded chore that it once was — the nasty, sticky pumpkin flesh — not to mention the danger of injury.
And unless you do your carving immediately before Halloween, you’ll have the seepage and the dreaded mold that inevitably sets in. Painted pumpkins are the rage, and it’s opened up a whole new world of decorating for those with artistic ability and creative minds.
But What If You’re Not So Artistic Or Creative?

There are lots of affordable guides containing pumpkin decorating ideas that will give you the guidance and detailed instruction you’ll need.

Creative And Unique Ways To Display Your Masterpieces. There is no end to the possibilities. How about creating an entire pumpkin family arranged around hay bales for a stunning lawn display? Decorated pumpkins can also be used for attractive and unique designs for your porch or patio using fall leaves or other autumn designs. I’ve even seen painted pumpkins decorated with a number painted on each, maybe along with some sort of fall design. Stack them on top of each other and display your house number on your front porch or in your yard.
