15 Easy Ways to Decorate with Pumpkins

OK…so am I the only one who can't wait for those big cardboard boxes of pumpkins to arrive in the stores? I know it's early, but there’s not a pumpkin in sight here…yet...and I am itching to decorate for fall! So just in case you are in the same fix I am, I am sharing 15 ways you can get your pumpkin on…without a single real pumpkin! There’s a little bit of everything… pillows, wreaths, planters, candles and more! And if you know me, it’s all easy to do! Who needs real pumpkins when this kind lasts from year to year? ;-)

Here's my new favorite way to make your own pumpkins...frenchy TICKING AND TOILE PUMPKINS! This traditional fabric combination is perfect for some non-traditional pumpkins!

Who needs flower pots when you can display your mums in this FAUX PUMPKIN PLANTER made from a $1.00 trick-or-treat pumpkin! And it's so easy, too!

Got an old sweater you are willing to sacrifice for the cause? Try my EASY SWEATER PUMPKINS! Or better yet...head to the thrift store!

You can also raid the thrift stores to create these super easy NO-SEW SHIRT PUMPKINS!

These EASY BURLAP PUMPKINS add texture to your fall decor!

Faux pumpkins are fun to dress up for fall…like my COUNTRY LIVING INSPIRED DECOUPAGE PUMPKINS.

And even an inexpensive trick-or-treat jack-o-lantern looks good as a BURLAP PUMPKIN PLANTER!

Don’t forget scrapbooking paper turned into PLEATED PAPER PUMPKINS…such a fun way to add a little fall pizzazz to a centerpiece!

I just raided my faux pumpkin stash and repurposed an old grapevine wreath form to create this POTTERY BARN INSPIRED PUMPKIN WREATH…so it was free!

I love pillows and I love pumpkins…so what’s better than a pumpkin pillow! I used the leftovers from my no-sew shirt pumpkins to create this PUMPKIN SHIRT PILLOW!

And I couldn’t resist giving this one a frenchy twist! It’s my linen and burlap VINTAGE FRENCH PUMPKIN PILLOW.

Miss Ozzie says not to forget that pumpkins play an important part in Halloween, too!

So I created this INTERCHANGEABLE FACE JACK-O-LANTERN PILLOW! My little grands love it! There’s even a pocket on the back to store the extra pieces!

I just couldn’t resist trying this one when I found a sheet of buggy craft paper! It’s my BLACK AND WHITE DECOUPAGE BUGGY PUMPKIN!

This was a fun project…with lots of fun patterns to choose from! It’s my EASY DUCT TAPE PUMPKINS!

When I saw this one, I had to give it a try! It’s my Country Living inspired JACK-O-LANTERN CANDLESTICKS! Hint...we had to drink a lot of apple juice for this one! ;-)

And don't forget your mantel or doorway! Just add this EASY $8 HALLOWEEN GARLAND...and all you have to do is assemble it! How easy is that?

I know I said fifteen, but here's one more...my EASY SUCCULENT PUMPKINS! Succulents seem to be moving into fall this year so what better way to display them than in a pumpkin! :-)

And that's it...but I'm still looking for those real pumpkins. A trip to the pumpkin farm may be in order soon! They are opening early this year! Eeeeeee!

Remember to pin it!
