I’ve been on a No Carve Pumpkin technique kick for the past few weeks. In fact – I’ve never been too fond of the idea of decorating pumpkins this time of year {I think they are beautiful just the way they are} but now that my head is spinning with tons of ideas on how to paint & decorate these beauties – I’m HOOK!

Without further ado – today I have another decorating idea to add to the blog archives. It’s just a simple pumpkin turned into an adorable No Carve Frankenstein. NO special tools or technique required – just a little imagination and paint!

So let the kids become a “mad scientist” this Halloween season, by skipping the mess of traditional pumpkin carving and going for a NO CARVE option this year! It’s so much better for little ones to participate with AND the finished pieces will last longer too! Happy crafting this Halloween season, my friends!

Supplies:

* Pumpkins {big or small, we used mini}
* Black/Green/White Craft Paint
* Paint Brushes
* Black Craft Foam
* Hot Glue Gun
* Scissors

Directions:

* First paint your pumpkin completely green. Then grab your black/white paint and give facial features {think eyes, stitched mouth, hair} to Frankenstein to give him life. Set aside to let it dry completely.
* While the paint is drying, go ahead and cut out some bolts/ears {two} from the black craft foam.
* To finish off your No Carve Pumpkin Frankstein, hot glue the bolts on the side of the pumpkin’s face {one on each side} and display proudly!
