Need a last minute Halloween idea? Here are two simple ways to decorate pumpkins without carving. And they literally take only a few minutes. I used mini pumpkins, but you can use the ideas for big ones, too.

Mummy’s Home! 

Supplies:

• Pumpkins
• Cheesecloth                      
• Scraps of ribbon or yarn
• Black paper or felt
• Scissors

Steps:

• Cut cheesecloth into two-inch wide strips.
• Wrap around pumpkin until covered. (I used five-or-six strips for the mini ones, you will need more for larger pumpkins
• Tuck the loose end in one of the strips
• Cut eye shapes from black paper or felt
• Slip the eye under a piece of cloth. The felt will stick, but paper might need a little glue to hold it in place.

It only took 5 minutes!

If you’re more Haute Couture than Adam’s Family, try high-fashion pumpkins.

Supplies:

• Pumpkins
• Black netting or tulle (You can find it at a fabric store OR find a dress at Goodwill made with netting)
• Scraps of ribbon or yarn
• Scissors

Steps:

• Cut large squares of netting; you will want about two inches at the top when gathered
• Gather around the pumpkin
• Hold in place with a piece of ribbon or yarn

Voila! Pumpkins Audrey Hepburn would be proud of!
