Three Creative Ways to Decorate with Pumpkins

 Jack-O-Lantern and pumpkin decorations are the perfect way to get your home and your yard ready for Halloween. All you need is a visit to the pumpkin patch, then you'll be ready to prepare your pumpkin décor for Halloween.

 Here are three creative ways to decorate with pumpkins of all sizes.

 If you are hosting a Halloween party and don't want anyone to go upstairs, scatter your staircase with carved pumpkins for an eerie display. Carve small pumpkins with letters to spell out the words "Do Not Enter” to make sure you everyone gets the message. You can use this pumpkin blockage decorating technique anywhere in the house that's off-limits to guests.

 Decorate your yard with jack-o-lanterns to spook out your neighbors and trick or treaters. Just hang them from tree branches using fishing wire to create the effect of glowing, floating faces in the dark! To avoid fire hazard, use glow sticks to light up the pumpkins rather than candles. 

 You can also line your walkway with carved pumpkins to light the way for trick or treaters or party guests. Carve out a few of pumpkins with Halloween words and arrows to guide them along the walkway.

 If you're not hosting a party but want to make your home look festive during Halloween, use pumpkins to create a welcoming window display. Carve pumpkins to put in the window sill during the nights leading up to Halloween. The lit up Jack-O-Lanterns will double as a sign to trick-or-treaters that you're home.

 Another indoor idea for pumpkin décor is to paint faces on small pumpkins of varying sizes and create a display on your dining room table or fireplace mantel. Incorporate fall foliage to create a rustic look.
