100909pumpkin.jpgWho says everyone has to carve a pumpkin? You can start your own family tradition and do something a little different like this "junk 'o lantern" made from items around the house, and perfect if someone happens to enjoy Cinderella. More ideas below...

 
 

• Drill or nail holes throughout your pumpkins and fill them with stems from mums- lovely centerpieces.

• Decoupage leaves onto your pumpkins

• Frost your pumpkin

• Paint your pumpkin and decorate with alphabet letters.

• Spray and glitter.

For more on each of these project ideas, photos, and other ideas, head to BHG.com.

A steampunkish pumpkin! I would love to see more steampunk pumpkins.

You can buy craft pumpkins at Michael's and really go to town on decorating for fall/Halloween. Just beware. You can spend a lot of money at Michael's without blinking.
