Since it's Autumn and Halloween is coming, I thought I would share some no-carve pumpkin-decorating ideas I've come across. The thing I really love about these is that most of them are kid-friendly! Check these out:
Pumpkin decoupage! Right up my alley. :-) Especially the leaves - I absolutely love finding and saving different types of leaves. (Better Homes and Garden)♥♥♥
Simple ribbon encircling these small pumpkins gives the place a charming and festive look!(Good Housekeeping)
♥♥♥
This is genius - different colored pastas! Cute cute.(Better Homes and Garden)
♥♥♥
Decorate your pumpkins with candy! Martha Stewart says to stick the candies on with ball pins, but as the mom of a toddler that kind of scares me. lol You could also glue the candies.♥♥♥
Check out this Edgar Allen Poe decoupaged pumpkin featured on the Mrs. B Blog!(From last year but oh so awesome)
♥♥♥
Guess how the dots were put on the dotted pumpkin on the right? With a black sharpie! So smart. :-) And the other two pumpkins with the intricate designs? Rub-on transfers found in the scrapbook section. Brilliant! :-)(From The Pleasures of Homemaking Blog)
♥♥♥
I'm totally in love with this glittered pumpkin idea from Martha Stewart!♥♥♥
Can you tell I like decoupage? :-) Learn how to decoupage ribbon onto a pumpkin at the Ribbonwood Cottage blog!♥♥♥
Not really carving... but sorta. ;-)
I love this polka dot look by Better Homes and Gardens! Just use an apple-corer on different gourds and pumpkins and change them around! Easy and fun. :-)♥ Share Your Thoughts! ♥

I LOVE the decoupage ideas! I will be trying them! Thanks for the post!
I don't usually decorate pumpkins, but the Poe pumpkin is great looking.
I followed you here from mom dot because I love this idea and wow! I hate when you cut pumpkins and they get all gooey and gross - I have this dislike of pumpkin anyway but I like them for decorating - but this idea is fabulous and Im so glad I stopped by! I have a thing for mod podge too!
