How do you decorate a small pumpkin?
Who says that you have to carve and cut into pumpkins? While it can look really cool at times to do so, there’s truth in the fact that not carving into your pumpkins and painting and decorating them instead can be just as beautiful.
This is especially true if you have small pumpkins that are just too little to cut into. Painting them or adding fun decals to them can really turn them into something fun!
If you’re tired of cutting into and taking out the guts of the pumpkin, you’re not alone. In fact, these no carve ideas are actually a lot easier to do! (and there’s nothing messy about them!)
