Decorating a pumpkin doesn’t have to involve carving. In fact, carving it is a messy and difficult process. Here are a few quick no carve pumpkin decorating ideas.

Beads: purchase a bag of beads and glue on a fun design. You can do shapes or bead the entire pumpkin. This is typically a great project for the little ones as well.

Bold colors: grab some spray paint and cover your pumpkins with bold and vibrant colors. These won’t be scary, but they will look great in your apartment.

Glitter: don’t necessarily glitter the entire pumpkin (unless you love glitter), but make a few designs with stripes or dots. The pumpkin will look great.
