Pumpkins Without Knives
By Twistie
I love Halloween. I love jack o lanterns. Unfortunately, they’re kind of a mess to make what with the cutting and the disposing of the pumpkin guts and all of that. Plus I’ve never gotten very good at carving, so most of them turn out looking like that first one I did by myself when I was eight… which looks like most of the jack o lanterns down the block.
On the other hand, I always have a ready supply of odd, ends, and general detritus I figure will be useful for something someday, and plenty of imagination.
That’s why I love the inspiration of this article at Better Homes and Gardens on using that random junk to decorate your pumpkins.
Upholstery tacks, keys, gears, washers, bits of chain and wire… whatever you can think of has the potential to make a unique statement on your porch this Halloween.
Check out the gallery, gather up your goodies, get a pumpkin, and go to town!
