It’s that time of year again! I love Halloween because it’s when I spend all my spare time making cute no carve pumpkins. I may be a little terrified (okay, more than a little) to cut into a real pumpkin, I’m all about decorating pumpkins without knives involved!

That’s because I’ve discovered these cool styrofoam craft pumpkins. There are so many fun things that I can do with them and I’m always trying to outdo the pumpkins I made last year. As soon as these hit the stores, I totally stock up! (You can get them on Amazon but they’re only $1 at Dollar Tree.)

For the past several years, I’ve even been sharing my creations on our local morning show, Suncoast View. It’s always fun but I always feel the pressure to make TV worthy pumpkins (though I’m totally up to the challenge).

This year I have a new favorite, my Baby Yoda pumpkin. I mean, how can you not love this little guy, right?

There are plenty more to choose from though, whether you’re into Harry Potter or Jack Skellington. Just grab a pumpkin and get started…you’ll have a blast creating any of these cute pumpkins ideas.

Cute Pumpkin Ideas For Halloween

Baby Yoda Pumpkin

Are you as obsessed with Baby Yoda as we are? This Baby Yoda pumpkin was so much fun to make and may just be our new favorite no carve pumpkin!

Harry Potter Pumpkin

We are equally obsessed with Harry Potter! I made a Golden Snitch pumpkin a couple years ago but thought it was high time I made a Harry Potter pumpkin to go along with it!

Dollar Tree Diorama Pumpkin

Technically I guess this isn’t a no carve pumpkin since I did cut it. I was actually trying to carve this one but didn’t realize it was hollow. I was going to toss it (it was only $1 so I didn’t mind) but then got the idea to make this cute diorama. My girls LOVED it and had a great time making their own!

Emoji Pumpkins

I had a blast making these emoji pumpkins, though I’m still trying to figure out how to make the poop emoji that my five year old loves so much!

Spiderman Pumpkin

You’ll be the superhero when you share this cool Spiderman pumpkin craft with the kids! Who doesn’t love Spiderman, right?

Frankenstein Pumpkin

Nothing says Halloween like Frankenstein and this no carve pumpkin will get you and the kids ready for some creepy fun!

Butterfly Pumpkin

From orange styrofoam pumpkin to a beautiful butterfly! This butterfly pumpkin may just be one of our prettiest creations yet!

Bumblebee Pumpkin

Our butterfly pumpkin needed a friend and what could be more perfect than this cute bumblebee?

Crayon Pumpkin

Melting crayons over a pumpkin might just be one of my favorite Halloween pumpkin ideas ever! It might be messy but it sure was fun (this one comes with a video too)

Black Cat Pumpkin

It’s not Halloween without black cats, right? We’re cat lovers anyway so my girls loved it when I made this black cat pumpkin. It was super easy and really fun to make…everybody should have a black cat pumpkin for Halloween!

Unicorn Pumpkin

If you really want cute pumpkin ideas, they don’t get much much prettier than this adorable unicorn pumpkin!

Golden Snitch Harry Potter Pumpkin

Love Harry Potter? Why not make a Harry Potter themed pumpkin for Halloween.

Cute Spider Pumpkin

Who says spiders are scary? This spider pumpkin couldn’t be any cuter!

Jack Skellington Pumpkin

I’m never really sure if he’s a Halloween or Christmas character but since he has creepy written all over him, we’ll keep Jack Skellington linked to Halloween.

Sally Skellington Pumpkin

We made Jack first, but then he needed a partner. Now he’s got this Sally Skellington pumpkin to keep him from being lonely!

Hello Kitty Pumpkin

Who doesn’t love Hello Kitty, right? This cute Hello Kitty pumpkin is a fun addition to our pumpkin collection!

Minnie Mouse Pumpkin

We’re a little Disney obsessed in my house and this adorable Minnie Mouse pumpkin makes the perfect Halloween craft for Disney lovers!

Mickey Mouse Pumpkin

You can’t have Minnie without Mickey, right? This Mickey Mouse pumpkin is a super cute and easy pumpkin decorating idea for Halloween!

Bat Pumpkin

We love bats for Halloween and it seemed like the perfect choice for our next no carve pumpkin!

Mummy Pumpkin

This mummy pumpkin is super easy to make so even the littlest pumpkin crafters can have fun with this one. You just need some white paint, gauze and oversized googly eyes for a little Halloween fun!

Silly Caramel Apple Pumpkin

This was inspired by a trip to the grocery store and all the delicious looking caramel apples that were on display!

Cinderella Pumpkin

This didn’t start out as a Cinderella pumpkin. I just really liked this blue paint that we had left over from painting my daughter’s bedroom. I glued a few strands of “diamonds” to it, then some larger gems. When I was finished, Cinderella was the first thing that came to mind. What do you think?

Metallic Polka Dot Pumpkin

When I came across pink metallic paint in the craft store, I knew it had to make it’s way into one of my crafts. I love the way this pumpkin turned out and might just add new metallic colors to my pumpkin collection every year.

Peacock Inspired Teal Pumpkin

Okay, so maybe it wasn’t actually inspired by a peacock. It kind of happened by accident but when all was said and done, we all agreed that this did look like a peacock. It was done in a hurry because I wanted to create a pumpkin to raise awareness for the Teal Pumpkin Project. Don’t know what that is? Find out all about it, then make your own peacock pumpkin for Halloween.

Spiderweb Pumpkin

Sometimes when I make a mistake, it turns out better than what I’d originally planned. That’s exactly what happened with this Spiderweb Pumpkin. See what mistake was that I made and tell me if you think it was an improvement or not.

Fireworks Inspired Glitter Pumpkin

This was another pumpkin that I started making with no clear idea of where I was going with it. I just knew that I wanted a pumpkin covered in glitter. By the time I was finished, we all agreed that it looked like exploding fireworks.

Dollar Tree Pumpkin

A little spray paint and some sparkly ribbon and I was able to turn an ugly styrofoam pumpkin into something pretty. See what it looked like before I got started.

Do you prefer carving pumpkins or playing it save with no carve pumpkins? Which of these would you make?
