When it comes to Halloween, everyone loves carved pumpkins. In recent years, pumpkin painting has also gained significant popularity as well. We think the reason for the rising popularity with pumpkin painting is that the decoration last much longer. A painted pumpkin can last an entire month or more whereas a carved pumpkin is usually only good for a night or two as the candle dehydrates it pretty quickly. So, pumpkin decorating is a combination of any techniques. Pumpkins can be dressed up like scarecrows. They can be stacked (with the help of stands) that gives them the snowball effect. Of course, large venues like parks and botanical gardens make very large pumpkin scenes so the decorations get as large as houses!

There are all kinds of ways to consider decorating. By using painting techniques, wigs, overalls, hats and other accessories, the possibilities are only as limited as your imagination. We will post pictures that help stir the imagination and give decorating tips and tricks as we come across them.
