20 DIY Fake Pumpkin Decorating Ideas for Halloween and Fall

I get really into decorating for the holidays, and Halloween is probably my favorite of them all, at least in terms of decor.

The only thing that really drives me nuts, though, is the fact that a lot of Halloween decorations (or any holiday, really) can seem really single-use.

I prefer to add to my collection each year, rather than starting from scratch. So I’ve been buying more durable decorations. And of course I’ve been showing you guys how to make Halloween decorations for ages, too.

The past few years, I’ve been using artificial pumpkins instead of the real deal. Because honestly, if I’m going to put that much time and energy into a holiday craft, I want it to last longer than a few weeks.

Decorating fake pumpkins would be a fun Halloween party idea for kids or adults, and everybody would take home something they’ll enjoy looking at for years to come.

Read on to see some of my favorites, and let me know: Which one of these is your favorite?
