Don’t get us wrong, you just can’t beat a spot of pumpkin carving. Whether you’re creating a gruesome face or a terrifying scene, it’s all part of the Halloween fun.

Whether you’re into knitting, painting, embroidery or upcycling, we have the perfect decorating tips right here - no scalpels required.

Sequins and polka dots
Add a touch of sparkle to your pumpkin - think of it as the vegetable version of a disco ball. -
Pun-kin party
These statement squash pack a punch - you'd be ghoulish not to try this technique at home. -
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. -
Paint it metallic
Such a simple idea, but so incredibly striking. The best bit? All you need is spray paint (and a pumpkin!). -
The sophisticated one
Looking to indulge in a little monochrome this Halloween? Swap white for gold and use this gorgeous veg as your inspiration. -
Spin a yarn
Covering your pumpkin in your favourite yarn is certainly a handy trick (or treat) if your carving goes awry. -
Hand-painted Halloween
Because pumpkins are the new canvases. We think this folk art print is just gorge. -
Stitch your own pumpkin
Talk about #embroiderygoals. These non-traditional Halloween hotties definitely have us in stitches. -
Golden touch
When it comes to Halloween, all that glitters is most certainly gold. These look a bit like unicorns, don't you think? -
The Mod Podge crew
Hurrah, we've found a way to use up fabric scraps! Just paste some onto your prized pumpkin, along with a little Mod Podge, and voila!
