Fall means that the weather gets colder, layers get thicker, and Halloween is right around the corner! But who can wait until the end of October to get into the holiday fun? Surely not anyone over here. Pumpkin carving is a close second to dressing up and trick or treating on Halloween. But as you might know, once carved, pumpkins started to get soggy and go bad.

We’ve found the best idea for our next fall DIY craft that will keep your prized pumpkin looking good all month long: painted pumpkins! Big or small, there are ideas for every size and shape pumpkin out there. All you need is an idea, the color paint to bring it to life and some brushes to bring it from your imagination to the pumpkin canvas!

Here are a few of our favorite ideas!

Character favorites:

Whether you go with a favorite TV cartoon or a mischievous minion, character pumpkins are bound to make you and everyone who passes your doorstep smile.

Simple but sparkle:

If characters aren’t your thing, tap into your sparkly side for a pumpkin like this design. Simple and sweet, but sure to stand out as it will glimmer all month long!

A pumpkin clan:

Pumpkins can have families too! Grab a few pumpkins of all different sizes and let your imagination take you on a journey. Model them after your own family or create something completely new. Your wild imagination is your best asset in these projects!

Donut leave out the little guys:

Everyone loves a mighty pumpkin, but remember, good things can come in small packages too! Take these little donut pumpkins for example. They may be tiny, but they are soooo charming and perfect for your desk at home!
