Halloween is upon us and you are ready for the fateful “Trick or Treat?”, and so here are some truly original idea for making cute Halloween pumpkins!
Pumpkins can also be painted
If you prefer not to carve pumpkins for Halloween, a great alternative is to paint them. This method is perfect for those who want to avoid the mess or for those who want to preserve pumpkin for longer. You can use acrylic paints, markers or tempera to create scary faces, geometric patterns or more imaginative decorations. Painting also allows you to add more intricate and personalized details, playing with bright colors and glitter for a stunning effect, transforming your pumpkin into a unique Halloween decoration piece.
Witch pumpkin
The pumpkin witches are very easy to make and are perfect even for the little ones! Simply draw or glue two big eyes and a mischievous smile on the surface of the pumpkin. To complete the look, add a witch’s hat, which you can buy or create with black cardstock. In a few simple steps you will have a nice and fun decoration, ideal for a magical and creative Halloween!
Owl pumpkin
The carved owl pumpkin is a truly special decoration for Halloween! To make it, carve the pumpkin creating two large round eyes and a small triangular beak. Around the eyes, you can decorate with sunflower seeds, which will create the effect of feathers. For the legs, always glue the sunflower seeds to the bottom of the pumpkin. The result will be a charming and detailed looking little owl, perfect for those who want an artistic and original touch in their Halloween decorations!
Spider web pumpkin
Sometimes, scratching is better than carving. Draw the outline of two large eyes on one pumpkin and a spider web on another using a marker. Color the drawing with the marker, then remove the colored part of the image.
Porcupine pumpkin
The hedgehog pumpkin is a simple and cute decoration for Halloween! To make it, take a small pumpkin and insert many toothpicks along the entire surface, so as to imitate the quills of a porcupine. You can then add two small eyes and a nose with buttons, paper or marker to complete the look.
Pumpkin cat
The carved cat pumpkin is a perfect decoration to add a mysterious and charming touch to your Halloween. To make it, start by carving two almond-shaped eyes on the pumpkin, typical of cats, and a small triangular nose. Below the nose, create an arched mouth with whiskers carved on either side. You can also carve pointy ears on the top of the pumpkin or create them with black construction paper
Mummy pumpkin
The mummy pumpkin is a simple and fun decoration for Halloween! To create it, draw two large eyes on the surface of the pumpkin, using a marker or stickers. Then wrap the pumpkin in white gauze, leaving only the eyes visible. Secure the ends of the gauze with glue or pins, creating the typical mummy-wrapping effect. This decoration is perfect for those looking for a quick and nice idea.
