Creative Halloween Pumpkins

It's easy to make these cream-of-the-pumpkin-crop designs. Most feature no-carve designs, meaning your handiwork will last for weeks instead of days.

Black-and-White Tape Pumpkin

Add pumpkin decorating to the list of tasks for multipurpose duct tape. First, paint the stem of a clean medium-size pumpkin lime green; let dry. Wrap zebra-print duct tape vertically around the pumpkin, starting at the stem in the back center and ending at the stem in the front center. Continue wrapping the pumpkin with strips of tape until it is covered, aligning the zebra stripes as much as possible. Smooth the tape over entire pumpkin. Finish by gluing on a plastic spider as a spooky little accent.
