The season of pumpkin everything is in full swing! When decorating this year, I decided to go the no-carve route. Partly because my carving skills are less than extraordinary, but also to switch it up and try something new. I loved the idea of using three dimensional embellishments to add extra pumpkin pizzaz. The result? A black and gold coordinating family of three.
How awesome is this metallic gold pumpkin?! Spray paint made the job a breeze, which left more time for the fun part – decorating.
To make the letter, I simply printed out a large J. After cutting it out and tracing around it, I filled it in with brass colored brads.
This little guy needed some dipped and distressed action.
I enjoyed taking a new approach this year, more pretty and less messy!
Here are a few other ways to decorate without the knives and pumpkin brains:
Lacy Pumpkins from BHG
Studded Chalk Paint Pumpkins from Cuckoo4Design
Distressed Subway Art Pumpkin from The Swell Life
Funky Ombre Pumpkins from Funkytime
Chevron Pumpkins from My Sweet Savannah

I’ve never celebrated Halloween much, so never had much of the pumpkin-carving, etc. But I love the lace, chevron, and distressed versions! I never thought of spray-painting them…but it’s great :D
There’s so many fun things you can do with them!
