pumpkin meets paperGot a passion for paper? Then these pumpkins are just up your alley! Using basic decoupage glue, work with larger paper pieces to create a simple stripe, or cut lots of little pieces (like our colorful triangles) for perfect patchwork appeal.

pumpkin paint jobIt’s a blast to add a little color to your fabulous faux pumpkins. Using acrylic paint, we painted the pumpkins black–we even painted the stems! Then we added oodles of doodle lines and artsy swirls. Fun and easy!

a cut above the rest...Look to our handy carving kits for the perfect designs–or design your very own like this fancy chandelier. Tip: For even more drama, follow the example of our

chandelier design and paint the pumpkin before you carve!

Our faux pumpkins are perfect for carving!

putting on the sparkleGot glitter? For the looks shown, we simply applied a color band. Apply base color to pumpkins, letting each color dry before applying the next. Use decoupage medium to adhere glitter, and seasonal ribbons to add color and interest.

pretty and sweetDesigner ribbon is an easy visual treat. Use double-sided tape to apply ribbon along natural grooves of pumpkin for added interest, or gather edges of ribbon into layered circles to make fun flowers, simply securing centers with buttons.

have you scene this?This shadow box effect pumpkin was a snap to create. Once cut in half, it was the perfect spot for a bed of Spanish moss and a hair-raising collection of pre-cut felt embellishments.
