No Carve Decorated Pumpkins

Last year was my first year to try a painted pumpkin.  I tried a paisley monogrammed version patterned after a picture I saw on Google.  It turned out pretty cute - especially after I dressed it up with a big black bow on the top.

You see "no carve" pumpkin ideas popping up more and more on blogs, Pinterest, and Google.  This year there are a ton of ideas that I want to try.  Here are a few example pics I have collected.  All are from Google image search:


Lace Wrapped Pumpkins:

Spray Painted and Stencil Painted:

Push Pin, Button, and String Decorated

Hopefully a few of these ideas will soon be showing up on my front step.  What are you going to do with your pumpkin this year?    I saw this recipe while searching pumpkins and it looks delicious, so while I am sharing things to try with pumpkins, why not try this?
