If you're looking for an alternative to the usual jack-o-lantern carving, try these useful tips for decorating with fall's most celebrated squash, the pumpkin.
Create a planted container. Hollow out any pumpkin or gourd to plant a selection of small plants such as herbs, ivies, and succulents. The colorful base will provide a beautiful contrast to almost any fall foliage - the perfect display for your front steps or to give as a hostess gift.
Create a centerpiece. Create an arrangement of fresh or dried flowers by drilling small holes into the body of the pumpkin. The moisture of the pumpkin will help to keep freshly cut flowers alive for several days. Add in dried cuts such as cat tails or grasses for extra depth and texture.
Carve a special design. Rather than carving a spooky or silly face, get creative with your cutouts - think of designs as simple as leaves or silhouettes, or as challenging as text or patterns.
