Ways To Use Pumpkins

It’s easy to decorate your home both inside and outside with fall decor. Gourds, leaves, pumpkins, and other seasonal materials make for beautiful fall displays. You can stack them, carve them, paint them, put them in containers, and add them around your house. The possibilities are endless!

1. Stacking Pumpkins

Stacking pumpkins is a great way to create a fall display. Pumpkin stacks look gorgeous in entryways, on desks, or in any corner.

To stack your pumpkins: first design your pumpkins, next cut a hole in the bottom of every pumpkin (except for the bottom one), and finally hot glue the pumpkins on top of each other.

2. Carving Pumpkins

Carving pumpkins and creating jack-o-lanterns is an age-old tradition. This is an activity that is fun for the whole family. Not only is it fun to design pumpkins, but there is also another perk. While carving you can collect the seeds to cook and eat later!

3. Painting Pumpkins

Another way to decorate with pumpkins without as much mess is by painting them! This requires much less physical labor and preserves your pumpkins for a longer period of time. You have more artistic freedom because now you can paint them any color you’d like. You can use both traditional paints and spray paints to let your creativity thrive!

4. Outdoor Fall Container Displays

An outdoor fall container display is one of the most popular ideas for any porch or garden. This display is easy to make yourself, and there are so many options to try. Start with the base: it can be a plant pot, plant stand, basket, or really anything you desire.

Next, fill your container with pumpkins, gourds, fall flowers, faux leaves, and flowers. Then, add hay, husks, and lanterns filled with corn or pumpkins. Create bold displays with lots of colorful potted mums and pumpkins!
