Brighten Up Halloween! Cute Pumpkin Decor

brighten up halloween: pumpkin decorating ideas

As the homemaking queen herself said in a recent instagram post, “Pumpkins don’t have to be spooky!” Needless to say, I was instantly inspired to take on this DIY myself. If you’re looking for a fun and colorful way to decorate this season, try creating this cheerful pumpkin display. Here’s a step-by-step guide to replicating this charming idea!

Step 1: Choose Your Pumpkins

Start by selecting a few colorful pumpkins to serve as your canvas. I recommend the following varieties for their beautiful hues:

  • Classic Orange: You can’t go wrong with this classic hue and they are the easiest to carve!
  • White: This ghostly white pumpkin creates a striking contrast.
  • Green: A deep green that grounds your display.
  • DIY: Can’t find the color you want? Just paint whatever you pumpkin you have available!

Step 2: Get Creative with Cutouts

Next, it’s time to get hands-on! Using cookie cutters or hole punches, cut matching shapes out of each pumpkin. Think hearts, stars, or any fun shapes that resonate with your theme. This adds a playful element to your decor.

Step 3: Mix and Match

Now for the fun part! Swap the cutouts into the holes of the contrasting pumpkins. For instance, place a orange star cutout into the hole of the white pumpkin, or a green flower in the pink one. This not only creates visual interest but also ties all the colors together beautifully.

Final Touches

Arrange your decorated pumpkins on your porch, dining table, or anywhere you want to spread some autumn cheer. Pair them with some fall foliage or fairy lights for an enchanting display that’s festive without being frightening.
