It’s that time of year again! Halloween is my excuse to spend way too much time making cute no-carve pumpkins. Honestly, I’m more than a little scared to cut into a real one (knives + me = nope). Plus, who really wants to scoop out all those messy pumpkin guts anyway?
That’s why I’m obsessed with styrofoam craft pumpkins. They’re inexpensive, easy to work with, and you can create endless designs without the mess. Every fall I stock up the minute they hit the shelves at Dollar Tree (be fast because they sell out faster every year). I love coming up with new ideas every year, from classic witches and monsters to fun pop culture favorites!
You can even find me sharing my fun pumpkin creations on our local morning show, Suncoast View. It’s always so much fun!
There are plenty more to choose from though, whether you’re into Harry Potter or Jack Skellington. Just grab a pumpkin and click the link for the full tutorial. The whole family will have a blast creating these cute pumpkin projects.
