Our Favorite Pumpkin Decorating & Carving Ideas!


Instead of carving a traditional Jack-O-Lantern this year, try one of these fun (and easy!) pumpkin decorating and carving ideas. Or -- if you dare -- have everyone in the family try a different one for a porch full of spooky and adorable pumpkins.

Prop it Up
Use props like vampire teeth to liven up your pumpkin. Try buying a pack of funky teeth from your local Halloween store and switch up the mouth all through October. We bet you'll stand out from the neighbors -- and you'll also save yourself from having to carve an intricate design or "face."
