I love decorating with pumpkins. Unfortunately, the hot California weather isn’t pumpkin friendly. So, any sort of pumpkin carving is out of the question for long term fall decorating. In fact, real carved pumpkins only last a day here before it starts to get mushy and grow mold. Thank goodness most craft and dollar stores carry faux pumpkins that are easy to transform into impressive fall decor with little effort. Here are 21 of my favorite clever ways to decorate faux pumpkins.

I love all of thes ideas! I recently chalk painted a pumpkin and I loved how it looked. I may decide to chalk paint some more of them.
So many great ideas! Thanks for including my topiary! #merrymonday
I love decorating pumpkins too but I’ve never gotten this creative. This is such a fun way to celebrate Halloween with the entire family.
WOW! This is a great list of amazing ideas! A real twist on the traditional pumpkin decorating.
Thanks. Yes, there are so many great ways to decorate with pumpkins that don’t involve traditional carving.
I never knew there were so many different ways to decorate pumpkins! I absolutely love these ideas! So many cute ones I especially love the one with the book pages on it!
So many great ideas! Thanks so much for featuring a few of my DIY pumpkins!
I honestly never thought about decorating faux pumpkins before. I Love that you shared these 21 clever ways, because it’s a wide enough range of options to suit any decor taste 🙂
I love all the creativity with these pumpkins! I remember when we used to just carve them and that was it. Love all the cool ideas these days 🙂
So many clever pumpkin makeovers. I love that cactus, had no idea it was a pumpkin!
I’m so not creative in coming up w/ ideas for fall decorating. I love how easy most of these look. Even I can pull most of them off!
My house is decked out in pumpkins this time of year! I am always looking for new craft ideas ot make with my kiddos!
You’re ahead of me. I’m still in Halloween mode and won’t be in full pumpkin mode till next month.
Those are great pumpkin decoration ideas. Not a big fan of jack o lanterns so these are perfect for us. Also, thanks for the linky. I can’t wait to check out the other posts there.
Thanks. I hope you found some pumpkin inspiration.
My husband just picked up a super-cheap pumpkin for our daughter and she wants to carve it already…but we’re in FL, so THAT won’t be happening until the day before!
I can totally relate. Carved pumpkins only last 24 hours before they start to get mushy in SoCal. Within 2-3 days it’s already growing mold and falling apart.
Thank you for hosting. Have a great week!
