Our fresh pumpkin decorating ideas will give you creative new ways to display pumpkin on your front porch. You can even use things from your junk drawer to create no-carve Halloween pumpkins; just gather old gears, springs, nuts, bolts, and anything else that catches your eye in no time at all, you’ll have a family of junk pumpkins with funny faces.
