An Easy Way to Decorate Your Pumpkin
Without a Sharp Object
[Better Homes & Garden]



No Carve Pumpkins are Great for All Ages!!

1. Choose cone-shaped pumpkins and clean their surfaces. Then, spray-paint the pumpkins in an ombre style to achieve the candy corn look. (Cover the stem with painter's tape to keep if free of paint.)
2. Princesses can pick a paint color palette -- like the white, gold or rosy pink -- and use a paint brush to make "Cinderella" princess pumpkins and add a tiara or ribbons for the "princess" touch; while princes can use a brush with colors such as blue, red, and black paint to create their own personalized Spiderman pumpkin (a black 'sharpie' marker is great for detail).
