6 Simple & Sparkly DIY Pumpkin Ideas (no carve!)

MAKE: simple and glittery DIY pumpkins.

I love setting out white pumpkins in the fall… they are a fabulous blank canvas for any kind of decoration. You can dress them up with almost any kind of craft supply. I’m partial to the sparkly variety. Are you shocked? Haha.

Not sure how to decorate your pumpkins this year? Looking for no-carve options?

In this week’s video I’m showing you six different glittery and sparkly pumpkin ideas! Most of the decoration supplies can be found around the house. Well, if you are a sparkle tooth and glitter hoarder like me!

So, grab your tiara and a cup of coffee and tune in to watch my sparkling tutorial:

6 Sparkly Ways to Decorate Pumpkins

Add vintage jewelry

Raid your own or your relative’s jewelry box or scout out sparkly baubles at thrift stores or garage sales (or buy new online)

Wrap a wide ribbon

Wide grosgrain or velvet ribbon
Sparkly pins or clip-on earrings

Wear a sparkly mask

Sparkly masks (I found mine at Dollar Tree and saw other shiny ones here)

Use a glittery headband

Rhinestone headbands (I found mine at a dollar store and saw similar ones here)

Top it with a crown

Raid or daughter’s dress-up box or buy similar here

Add rhinestone eyes

Extra-large, 50mm ginormous rhinestone (you can find these cheaper at Joanns from Blue Moon Beads)
Black craft vinyl
0.75 inch circle punch (PLEASE shop around for these circle punches. With a coupon, a punch can often be bought at the local craft store cheaper than as listed)
Painter’s tape (I’m a fan of this brand)
