Every year my family makes a trip to the local pumpkin patch and spends the afternoon selecting the perfect pumpkin. It's just not officially fall without a pumpkin sitting on my front porch. If carving pumpkins isn't your thing, you can still use pumpkins to decorate in many unique ways.
The top picture shows smaller pie pumpkins covered in a layer of glue and then covered in orange glitter. The sparkle adds a touch of glam to your tabletop. Setting them atop cake pedestals adds height and depth.
Wouldn't you love to have this display of painted pumpkins on your porch? The stacked benches piled with various sizes of painted pumpkins create a stunning display.
There are endless possibilities for decorating with mini pumpkins. Here they have carved a hole just big enough for a votive candle, and have placed a simple hurricane on top. You could also carve a smaller hole that fits a tea light candle.
