Pumpkins in black and white<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3> This design is somewhat <strong>ghostly and yet elegant<\/strong>, ideal for a special Halloween party. Just paint the pumpkins completely white and then draw in black the design of your choice. You can make a scary face, spiders, stripes or other motifs. <h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Super_Pumpkin\"><\/span>2. Super Pumpkin <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>This idea is <strong>ideal for comic book fans and superheroes<\/strong>. It consists of making the drawing or symbol that represents your favorite superhero by cutting the pumpkin. You will only have to empty it and make the motive with the help of a cutter. With a light inside it, it will look super! <h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Cannibal_Pumpkin\"><\/span>3. Cannibal Pumpkin <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>You will need a large pumpkin and some smaller ones. The idea is to cut a monstrous face on top of the larger one with threatening eyes and a <strong>mouth with sharp teeth that should be left open<\/strong>. On top of the other pumpkins you should paint a face with a frightened expression. Then, the latter must be placed in front of the big one as if they were being devoured by it. <h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Pumpkins_with_letters\"><\/span>4. Pumpkins with letters<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3> A creative idea for decorating pumpkins is to <strong>draw letters<\/strong> on them to form a word like &#8220;Boo!&#8221; or &#8220;Halloween&#8221;. You can use paint or simply cut out the shape of the letters with a cutter. <h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Rural_Pumpkin\"><\/span>5. Rural Pumpkin <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>If you want a<strong> more rural design <\/strong>this idea is for you. All you have to do is draw a scary face on your pumpkin and put a straw hat on it. Accompany it with a few spikes, jute fabric or sack, among other elements that are in line with the style you&#8217;re looking for. <h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Ice_bucket_or_pumpkin_cooler\"><\/span>6. Ice bucket or pumpkin cooler <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>If you want <strong>a very original ice bucket<\/strong> for your Halloween party you can make it with a pumpkin. You only have to make a big enough opening on one side of the fruit, making sure the opposite side sits well. You can decorate it with paint or other elements. Then fill your ice bucket with ice cubes and that&#8217;s it. <h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Carnivorous_pumpkin\"><\/span>7. Carnivorous pumpkin<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3> Cut a scary face on the pumpkin so that the mouth has sharp teeth and is a little open. Then take a piece of jean or cowboy cloth, a sock and a shoe to <strong>create an artificial leg<\/strong>. This should be placed in the pumpkin&#8217;s mouth as if it were being swallowed by the pumpkin. <h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Pumpkin_Witch\"><\/span>8. Pumpkin Witch <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>If emptying the pumpkin is tedious for you, you don&#8217;t have to do it. You can paint over it a <strong>witch&#8217;s head <\/strong>using your creativity. You should not miss the warts and a pointed nose but it will depend on what you prefer. Also, placing a witch&#8217;s hat on the pumpkin would not look bad. <h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Flaming_pumpkins\"><\/span>9. Flaming pumpkins <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>A very original idea to decorate pumpkins is to make <strong>flames or flames of fire<\/strong> over them. You only have to cut the surface of the fruit with a cutter. Placing one or more of these pumpkins near the fireplace will look great! <h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Pumpkins_with_geometric_motifs\"><\/span>10. Pumpkins with geometric motifs <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>Cutting <strong>geometric patterns<\/strong> on pumpkins is excellent, especially if you put a candle or other light source inside. You can make circles, squares, hexagons, among other geometric figures. All you need is a cutter and a lot of creativity. <h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Decorating_Halloween_pumpkins_step-by-step_guide\"><\/span>Decorating Halloween pumpkins: step-by-step guide<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2> Now that you know some <strong>original ideas for decorating pumpkins for Halloween<\/strong>, do you know how to carry them out?
