1. Sequins and polka dots
   Add a touch of sparkle to your pumpkin - think of it as the vegetable version of a disco ball.
2. Pun-kin party
   These statement squash pack a punch - you'd be ghoulish not to try this technique at home.
3. Bold and bright
   Be a butternut squash amongst a sea of pumpkins - that's certainly our goal. These funky geometric patterns will help your designs stand out from the crowd.
4. Paint it metallic
   Such a simple idea, but so incredibly striking. The best bit? All you need is spray paint (and a pumpkin!).
5. The sophisticated one
   Looking to indulge in a little monochrome this Halloween? Swap white for gold and use this gorgeous veg as your inspiration.
6. Spin a yarn
   Covering your pumpkin in your favourite yarn is certainly a handy trick (or treat) if your carving goes awry.
7. Hand-painted Halloween
   Because pumpkins are the new canvases. We think this folk art print is just gorge.
8. Stitch your own pumpkin
   Talk about #embroiderygoals. These non-traditional Halloween hotties definitely have us in stitches.
9. Golden touch
   When it comes to Halloween, all that glitters is most certainly gold. These look a bit like unicorns, don't you think?
