6 Cool No Carve Pumpkin Ideas

Pumpkin Ideas

Forget about carving tools and messes… there are so many fun ways to decorate a pumpkin!

No Carve Pumpkin Idea

Olaf Pumpkin

Supplies: One oval and one round pumpkin (faux or real), Design Master Spray Paint in Flat White, Design Master Spray Paint in Orange, large pair of googly eyes, small styrofoam cone by FloraCraft Make It Fun,  black felt, white adhesive glitter paper, 3 plain brown chenille stems of head and 4 fluffy brown chenille stems for arms.  You’ll also need a glue gun and glue sticks. All materials available at Ben Franklin Crafts and Frames in Redmond.

Step 1: Remove the stems. If using faux pumpkins, you can pop them right out.

Step 2: Spray paint the pumpkins Design Master White. Let them dry.

Step 3: Spray the pumpkins with the Krylon Glitter Blast. Let them dry.

Step 4: Cut the end piece from the styrofoam cone and spray paint it with Design Master Orange.

Step 5: Using the photo as a guide, cut a “mouth” from the black felt. Cut “teeth” from the adhesive glitter paper or from white felt or white paper. Attach “teeth” to mouth and use hot glue to secure to top pumpkin.

Step 6: Using photo as a guide, adhere carrot nose to the top pumpkin.

Step 7: Use hot glue to attach eyes.

Step 8: Cut two small eyebrows from black felt and glue above eyes.

Step 8: Cut the two plain chenille stems in half. Use the hot glue to attach them to top of “head” pumpkin.

Step 9: Cut one of the brown fluffy chenille stems in fourths. Twist one fourth around another chenille stem to make an “arm.” Trim arm as needed and glue to smaller “bottom” pumpkin. Repeat on other side.

Step 10: Glue top and bottom pumpkins together with arms sticking out.

No Carve Pumpkin Idea Spider Web Pumpkin

Supplies: faux or real pumpkin. Design Master Spray Paint in Glossy Black, white Dimensional (Puffy) Paint from Tulip, a large spider and hot glue. Optional: Design Master Spray Paint in Purple. All materials available at Ben Franklin Crafts and Frames in Redmond.

Step 1: Spray paint the pumpkin glossy black and let it dry.

Step 2: Use puffy paint to create a spider’s web. The easiest way to is to make an “L” shape, then add two more dimensional lines. Now you have a quarter done. Repeat three more times. Use the puffy paint to draw webs between the lines. Let the puffy paint set for 24 hours.

Step 3: If desired, spray paint the spider purple.

Step 4: Use hot glue to add spider to web.

No Carve Pumpkins

Farm Themed Pumpkins

Supplies: faux or real pumpkin. Design Master Spray Paint in Holiday Green, two small “fences” by Darice (available in the area where the train models are sold), one package or plastic farm animals, and hot glue. All materials available at Ben Franklin Crafts and Frames in Redmond.

Step 1: Spray paint the pumpkin green. Let it dry.

Step 2: Attach one fence to the middle of pumpkin. Measure how much more fence you need and cut the second fence accordingly. Glue in on.

Step 3: Glue some small plastic animals on top.

No Carve Pumpkin ideas

Seahawks Pumpkin

Supplies: faux or real pumpkin. Design Master Spray Paint in Olive. 2 packages of bright blue adhesive gems from Triveni Craft and 2 packages of light green adhesive gems from Triveni Craft. White vinyl “12,” Mod Podge and fine white glitter. All materials available at Ben Franklin Crafts and Frames in Redmond.

 Step 1: Paint the pumpkin with Design Master Spray Paint in Olive.

Step 2: Add white vinyl “12.”

Step 3: Brush 12 with Mod Podge and add white glitter.

Lacy No Carve Pumpkin

Decoupage Pumpkin

Supplies: Faux or real pumpkin, Mod Podge, decopatch and scissors. Optional: Design Master Spray Paint in Glossy Black and hot glue. All materials available at Ben Franklin Crafts and Frames in Redmond.

Step 1: Remove stem and (optional) spray paint Glossy Black.

Step 2: Cut the decopatch in 2 inch wide strips.

Step 3: Apply Mod Podge on the back on a strip and adhere to pumpkin. Continue around pumpkin until totally covered.

Step 4: Snip the bottom off the stem an reattach using hot glue.

Pumpkin Ideas

Mini “BOO” Pumpkins

Supplies: Three baby pumpkins, Design Master Spray Paint in Olive and Yellow, Mod Podge, black letter stickers, a foam paint brush and green and yellow glitter. All craft materials available at Ben Franklin Crafts and Frames in Redmond.

    I am so IN LOVE with these ideas. Every year, I get so excited to carve and think I am going to do better than the year before and well, I just end up so frustrated and ugh… disappointed! Everyone else in my fam can carve… I will come back to these ideas.

      Thanks Sharon. I am with you. I get high hopes for the carving but sadly my carving skill isn’t that good. Painting is much easier and it lasts forever!

    […] There are many different images that you can paint on your pumpkin, and the spiderweb is just one of a few iconic images associated with Halloween.
