One of my favourite things about Halloween is pumpkin carving. From scooping out the goopy insides, to scrolling through countless of images online to draw inspiration from, what is not to love? Ok, maybe finding dried pumpkin guts on the floor and walls afterwards. When you have 3 kids (well, 4 if you count the man-child), there’s bound to be dried pumpkin guts SOMEWHERE.
The only issue is that once you carve into your pumpkin it sure seems like it’s life starts to decrease drastically!
And then there’s the fact that pumpkin carving may just not be your ‘thing’. That’s ok though, there are so many alternatives to carving pumpkins! So many COOL ideas that you may actually not want to ever carve pumpkins again! Unbelievable, I know.
I’ve rounded up some cool no-carve ideas to help inspire you. I’m gonna have to say: sharpies + pumpkins = favourite.
