1. Glitter and Painted Pumpkins
Grab your black paint and your gold glitter! You can get creative and make your pumpkins look like they’re straight out of a Halloween scene without the mess! The glitter paint is so flashy, that it’ll be hard not to notice them.
Or you could use some ordinary colors with patterns for just as much excitement but in a different way. Most people wouldn’t think about it when dressing up their autumnal decorations this year. By adding dimension instead of top-normal looks that are still welcoming enough!
2. Sequin Pumpkins
I love the thought of owning pumpkins every year with that little bit more sparkle. This is why I recommend painting your pumpkins white and adding sequins pumpkin to replicate this Halloween pumpkin project. They will make your house look polished without costing too much money or time, which means you can enjoy doing it again next October (or whenever).
3. Floral Moon Pumpkin
The blooming flowers give these pumpkins a whole new look. I am all into spirituality and moon cycles, so this DIY project as a Halloween Decoration of using flowers to add some originality to fake-painted pumpkins is right up my alley! This pumpkin craft inspiration needs black spray paint or chalkboard paint with a sponge brush and some pretty flowers of your choosing. Dollar Tree has a great selection for cheap!
4. Gold-Dipped Pumpkins
The spooky season is here and I have the perfect solution for easy pumpkin painting ideas! This will solve your faux pumpkin needs. Check out these metallic paint gold-dipped pumpkin designs! Grab your painter’s tape, gold spray paint, colorful craft paints, metallic gold marker, and/or some gold leaf rub and buff to replicate these pumpkin crafts. If you’re already using them each year, why not give your pumpkin design some chic personality?
5. “Hello, Fall!” Magnolia Pumpkin Planter
Hello, Autumn! Have you got alternative decorations planned for your front porch? The perfect way to celebrate this beautiful season is by using faux pumpkins as planters. White pumpkins work well for this project because they look really chic! Grab some fake magnolia florals with leaves and your hot glue gun to attach them to the top of the pumpkin. Use a metallic gold paint pen to write “Hello, Fall!” And Voila! You have a chic fall decoration that isn’t orange!

7. Punny Pumpkins = Pun-kins!
This year, the word “pumpkin” inspired us to make some DIY punkins. I couldn’t help but think of all our favorite Halloween jokes and decided that these would be perfect for a jack o’lantern design to greet trick-or-treaters! Use bright spray paint colors, stencils, black acrylic paint, or vinyl lettering to recreate this look!
With tattoo paper in hand (because who doesn’t love ink?), building up creativity by coming up with even more clever phrases than before until finally arriving at “PUNKINS!”
Large pumpkins and small pumpkins are great to use to express your creativity and I love how you got creative with the pun.
8. Drip-painted Pumpkins
When the leaves start changing colors and crunching beneath your feet, it’s time to get out those glue guns. This is one of my favorite fall crafts because not only does getting gooey create some seriously gorgeous mini pumpkins. You can do whatever superstition suits YOUR needs when creating these decorations!
One of the most fun and artistic easy pumpkin painting ideas is by using this abstract method.
Drip Painting Pumpkins may seem like an ultra messy project at first glance–in fact, they’re probably closer related than most people think (paint + pumpkin?)
But let me assure ya; once everything has dried up after 30 minutes or so then all that remains are beautifully designed items perfect enough for any decoration circuits.
9. Ornate Pumpkin Decor
The creativity and uniqueness that went into each pumpkin design are mindblowing! The way they’re all individually designed, yet still, have a sense of identity as one group makes for an impressive focal point.
10. Pumpkin Festive Signage
The pumpkin is so beautiful and the perfect size for my kitchen. I love how it has a hand-painted font, with “Pumpkin Spice Everything” written in calligraphic letters pumpkin design that just adds flair to this already amazing creation!
11. Donut-Painted Pumpkins
Cute as a button! These amazing donut-painted pumpkins are the perfect way to show off your love for all things sweet.
I never would have thought that painting these delicious treats with so much color could look so good! They’re not just one of many cool ideas either; this is my personal favorite because there’s no other food decoration that has made its mark on history quite like them.
12. Owl Pumpkin Decor
Creative. Fun. Eye-catching! I had never seen such an interesting project with pumpkins before, so of course, this beautiful non-traditional use for the holiday season caught my attention right away.
The perfect addition to your home or classroom whether you’re celebrating Halloween or just want some cute decoration pieces around town (and don’t worry about making sense because I’ll sort out any logic issues).
You can even paint two different colors if that suits you better; all while creating one awesomely crafted creature in need of wings…I mean owls 🙂
13. Pumpkin Porch Signage
Calligraphy is a great way to spruce up your porch this fall. I love how you can use it as decoration and put the family’s last name or EST date on them too! It looks classy, festive–and perfect for any occasion really
14. Ice Cream Cone Pumpkins
Creative use of pumpkins that will make your home look like a pumpkin haven! I love it when people try new things with their favorite fall decorations.
This creative person took cardboard shaped into cones and stacked them on top of two fake ones to create an ice cream cone-like shape.
Who doesn’t need some extra pumpkin decor flair?
It’s such a simple yet clever design that anyone can do at home – even if they’re not crafty or have no imagination whatsoever
