15 Non-Scary Ways To Decorate A Pumpkin For Halloween
Add a Halloween pumpkin to your front door that won’t scare the littles away! If you don’t do scary at your home for Halloween, you’ll love this list of 15 non-scary pumpkin ideas.
Happy (almost) Halloween and BOO, y’all! It’s hard to believe that Halloween is right around the corner! I always get such a kick out of seeing all the sweet and innocent faces of the little ones that come to my door.
It’s all because of those sweet and innocent faces that I don’t get into the scary side of Halloween too much. Shoot, I’m such a wienie that some of the decorations that I see even creep me out, especially if they’re gory. You can always count on me to look away if I spot a ginormous fake spider in someone’s yard or on their house – I don’t even want to look at them!
But that doesn’t mean that I don’t want to have a Halloween pumpkin. No way! I just don’t want it to be scary looking. Whether carved or not, I still enjoy having the traditional pumpkin to greet the trick-or-treaters who come to my door. While searching for inspiration this year, I came up with 15 great ideas.

Love these ideas. I don’t like scary either, especially for little ones. Discovered your blog through Southern Hospitality and enjoyed your home tour. And I loved the link to the tips on decorating a Christmas tree! Thanks for sharing.
Lots of so different cuties! thanks for rounding them up!
So many fabulous ideas, and so creative. Thanks tons for linking to Inspire Me.
Love the round up! Thanks. Linda
Following on several platforms, also… You are welcome to come share at What to do Weekends Party tonight (Thursday at 10 PM. Eastern Time.) Linda
Great ideas. Thanks
I was thinking that when I was a child, all we did was carve a face on a pumpkin! Now look at all the ideas. I like the candy corn ones and will definitely pin this post. Thanks.
What great ideas! Especially like the pumpkins with the designs carved in them (we don’t do scary, either).
I am so late this year that I wanted to at least be able to incorporate (turn the pumpkin around and add something Thanksgiving-ish) what I put out for Halloween that would go forward and keep the trekking up to the attic to a minimum…I love the Halloween house from another post and Hobby Lobby had reduced the group of 3 to $7! Happy Halloween to me.
Thanks for your grand inspiration and thank you thank you for helping to make a big impact with my budget (time and money) in mind.
Happy Halloween!
Fun and Pretty!

This is timely as my daughter and I plan to make jack-o-lanterns this weekend. I love the caterpillar so I might do that instead!
Those pumpkins are gorgeous. Thank you for sharing these great ideas.

WOW! What a great variety of pumpkins. They are so pretty, I can not choose a favorite.

I really like those etched-out pumpkins! Beautiful. I’m definitely not on the scary side. I like my porch and decor to reflect the season, not necessarily Halloween. 🙂
