 Nothing says Fall more than a home decorated with pumpkins! Whether you're carving it into a jack-o'-lantern, using it to make pumpkin bread, or making it your table's centerpiece, the pumpkin will in one way or another hold the spotlight in your home this Fall. Here are some fun ideas: -Bird Feeder: Get out a pumpkin and carve it to resemble a football helmet. On the pieces that would cover a players ears, poke holes on each side and string through durable rope. Fill the pumpkin with bird seed and hang! -Floral Arrangement: Gut out a pumpkin and fill with water and your favorite flowers. Give it as a gift, or use it to decorate your home! -Fill Your Fireplace: For those of you that have fireplaces, but never use them, spruce up that square in the wall by filling it with pumpkins. The color will liven up any room! -Picture Perfect: If you're looking to show off your family's latest bundle of joy, gut out a large pumpkin and place your "model" in it and snap away! -Light Up the Room: Gut out smaller-sized pumpkins and fill with candle holders and candles to light up your home. -Get Creative: Use paints to decorate your pumpkins with funny faces, stripes, shapes, and designs. -Party Favors: Whether it's a Fall wedding or a dinner party, let your guests know where to sit by gluing name cards to small pumpkins. These also serve as take-home party favors.
