Halloween Decor :: Decoupage Pumpkins

decoupage pumpkin for Halloween

This black and white decoupage pumpkin by County Living has me thinking. To create the eye-catching look, they used a faux pumpkin and over 120 photocopied images from Pictoral Webster’s.  It’s a brilliant no carve solution perfect for kids that could be used year after year. I just might have to try it this Halloween!

Happy Decorating!
