I got a little sidetracked while editing my pumpkin patch photos (coming soon) from our trip to California...
I was thinking that since Little Sweets is just 2, we won't be teaching her how to handle a pumpkin-carving knife quite yet. Here are some amazing no-carve pumpkin decorating tutorials:

I love the no-carve approach! And even better if they last from year to year.
ReplyDeleteI no carved and painted my pumpkin with chalkboard paint! I can make a different face each day!

ReplyDeleteThose are great pumpkins!! Weighing out the mess of carving a real one or trying one of the fun non carved pumpkins...hmmm :)
ReplyDeleteWow, those are great! I especially love the lacy one and also the painted one at the end. If I didn't love carving pumpkins so much, I would try one of those this year! Maybe I will anyway... :)
