With All Hallows Eve quickly approaching, I have another NO-CARVE pumpkin option to share with you all today!

Do you love the idea of decorating pumpkins but hate the messy “guts” part? Maybe you have a child who is too young for pumpkin carving but you still want to include them in the tradition? Well – skip the mess and sharp carving tools by going with a fun NO CARVE option this year!

Inspired by a pumpkin decorating kit I recently saw at my local Target, this No Carve Pumpkin Bat is as simple as it gets! No need for special tools or designer skills. Just a little creativity and some inexpensive supplies you probably already have in your home.

So what are you waiting for? Don’t go “batty” this Halloween season – these pumpkins are super easy to whip up and I hope you are inspired to make your own today too!

Happy crafting and decorating your home in Halloween tricks & treats, my friends!!!

No-Carve Bat Pumpkin Supplies:

* Pumpkins {big or small, we used mini}
* Black Craft Paint
* Paint Brushes
* Large Wiggle Eyes
* Black/White Craft Foam
* Low-Temp Hot Glue Gun
* Craft Scissors

Directions:

* First paint your pumpkin completely black. Set aside to let it dry completely.
* While the paint is drying, go ahead and cut out some bat features from your craft foam {wings, ears, fangs etc.}
* To finish off your No Carve Pumpkin Bat, hot glue all your foam pieces in place on the pumpkin, as well as the wiggle eyes. Then display proudly!
