Pumpkins, Pumpkins, Pumpkins!!!

Get inspired for Pumpkins this Halloween. You can use almost anything to decorate a pumpkin, make it easy for kids or create a great cute home decor.







Use washable magic markers that are easy to wipe off when you make a mistake and finish with a permanant marker.
















Spray paint pumpkin and then use the end of a spoon to scratch away paint to create designs.













Try outlining your image by scraping off the top layer. Add dimension by using other objects or paint or permenant marker for extra design.














These fun pumpkins are wrapped using double sided tape and ribbon, or sequins.



































Pumpkin bugs! this one is a super cute one that any girl would love, but try mixing it up with paperclips, jar rings, buttons, or anything else in that drawer full of clutter.






Kids will love to make this funny face by using Mr. Potatoe Head parts.








Toothpicks and candy make another easy way for youngsters to do it themselves.
