No-Carve Pumpkin Ideas

- Chalkboard Pumpkins – Paint your pumpkin with chalkboard, allow to dry, and decorate with colored chalk. Change the decoration daily.
- Sharpie Zentangle Pumpkin – Grab your sharpie and use the zentangle technique to decorate your pumpkin. Zentangle is a pattern drawing technique that is easy enough for everyone to master. Use white pumpkins for a cool effect.
