9 no carve pumpkin ideas for you to decorate your pumpkins

No carve pumpkin ideas.

Hands up if you dislike carving pumpkins. Can you see my waving hand right there along with you? I just don’t like it, and never have. The sliminess of the pumpkin guts, the messieness, using cutting knives and other carving tools while everything is slippery. No thank you!! Add kids to the mix and the whole carving thing makes me nervous. Decorating pumpkins however, is fun and something that I am pretty excited about. I have created a list of 9 non carve options for decorating pumpkins for anyone looking for inspiration. Check it out.

    I am right there with you. I disliked it as a kid, tolerated it when my kids were young, and absolutely did not do it anymore!
    I think the chalkboard one is my favorite! I could plunk it down in front of the spotlight in the garden! It might look kind of spooky.

    I’ll take any of them as long as I don’t have to carve it!

      Right? I would spend 12 hours decorating one to not have to carve! https://justanotheredmontonmommy.com/2015/10/9-no-carve-pumpkin-ideas-for-you-to-decorate-your-pumpkins/?replytocom=4942#respond
