No Carve Pumpkin Bat Decor Piece – Halloween Kid Craft Idea
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!!! Don’t forget to share pictures of your pumpkin bat creations on our Facebook page to admire from a far! #gluedtomycrafts
