11 Chic And Grown-Up Ideas For Your Pumpkin (Goodbye Tacky And Tasteless)

Carving the pumpkin.

Sure it is tradition, but it is also messy, time-consuming and, rather often, you end up with something not quite what you had in mind when you set out – certainly if your knife-yielding skills are anything like my knife-yielding skills, anyway.

Enter the no-carve pumpkin, mamas.

No mess, no fuss and only about 100 percent more chic and Pinterest-y. Are you ready? Here are 11 gorgeous no-carve pumpkins we are willing to bet good money you would be more than happy to display this Halloween:

Two years ago I made these guys and they’re still a crowd fave! And I’m having the kind of Monday where I could face plant into a box of donuts right now, so they seemed appropriate! Tutorial is on the blog, in the sidebar. HAPPY FREAKING MONDAY! ?????

If you’re not a big fan of carving pumpkins, here’s a simple & sweet idea! Carve out the middle of your pumpkin (getting as many seeds and strings as possible), fill with water and cut flowers, and finish with a drawn on face! (I used a gold sharpie for mine). Be sure to change the water every couple days and trim the ends of the flowers. It’s darling in a little girls room and would be cute even long after Halloween! #kellerfarmhouse #diypumpkin

Just working on a new blog post this morning for fall decorating with pumpkins. We embellished some artificial pumpkins with tissue paper, chalk markers and glitter. Place the pumpkins on a couple of wood slabs for a Thanksgiving centrepiece this weekend. #pumpkindecor #falldecorating #thanksgiving #chalkpumpkin #tissuepaperpumpkins #glitterpumpkin #woodslabcenterpiece
