What technique should you choose to decorate a pumpkin without digging it?
To make your task easier when customizing your pumpkin, be sure to choose it carefully: ideally, it should be perfectly smooth. Then make sure to clean and dry it thoroughly. Once this is done, all you have to do is choose the technique that suits you best to decorate it!
The simple and effective option is to use paint. You can of course create a pattern freehand or using a stencil. Too complicated for you? No problem: opt for monochrome decoration! The total black look is a safe bet. But for a more contemporary decor, you can dare to try trendy colors. To add a touch of pep to your creations, grab a toothbrush and some gold paint, and add a few metallic touches.

A few pieces of felt and a pair of scissors: that’s all you need to transform your pumpkin into a cute animal. Of course, you can choose a kindly “spooky” creature, such as a vampire or bat. Or you can prefer a less “halloween” inspiration and make a forest creature such as an owl, bird or fox.
When you’re looking for the best DIY Halloween decoration ideas that are easy to make with the kids, decorating the pumpkin doesn’t necessarily come out on top! However, it is entirely possible to create a fantastic creation, even with the little ones. To do this, simply use stickers.
