Trendy Pumpkin Decorating Ideas

I was looking on the web last night for more Halloween decorating ideas and ran across MSN's nifty pumpkin decorating article. I'm hosting a little Halloween get-together for some of my friends from work, so I'm in the process of looking around for cute, girly decorations. So check out my faves:


  • Black and White Chic- These b & w patterns are so simple, but so pretty! Probably my fave of all the designs.

  • Leaf Pattern- This one requires a bit more skill and time, but the end result is really cute and so perfect for fall, even beyond the weeks of Halloween.


  • Glowing Gourds- Artsy and playful, these sparkling pumpkins are perfect for a girls-only soiree. So fix up some snacks and apple cidar and have a pumpkin painting party!


  • Curlicue Pumpkin- Curly, whimsical and just plain adorable. What else can ya say?


So which of the ideas above do you like the best? Do you plan to carve a pumpkin this year? I'd love to hear everyone's Halloween pumpkin decorating ideas!

  5. Love the black and white! And the crescent moon does look soooo easy! BTW, did any of these fabulous ideas happen to come with very detailed step-by-step directions for those of us that usually put stickers on our pumpkins instead of carving them? ;))

  6. We carve pumpkins every year..well actually I end up carving pumpkins several times...mine, Ben's (when he gives up) and then for my work too. I love these ideas! Maybe they will help keep carving fresh!

  10. I haven't carved a pumpkin since elementary school, but these look pretty cool. Though I have so some look really involved! The black and white ones are very unexpected.
