20 Pumpkin Decorating Ideas

I love being a little un-traditional about pumpkin decorating and I have collected my favorites around the web. Using materials such as glitter, chalkboard paint and metallic paints can really create a unusual display of pumpkins. Which ones will be your favorites to try??

A little gauze and some googly eyes and your little pumpkin is frightfully ready.

Chalkboard painting is such a fun way to add some personality to a room or a project. How fun to paint pumpkins with it and write your favorite Halloween sayings on them!

In my house glitter is a must and doing fun patterns with it on pumpkins is such a fun idea with the kids!
