It’s safe to say that most of us have tried our hand at a Disney character pumpkin carving at least once in our lives. And If you’re anything like me, it didn’t turn out so hot…Carving Mary Poppins holding her umbrella is not an easy task! It was anything but “practically perfect in every way.”
So, this year I’ve decided to try some Disney inspired “no-carve” pumpkin DIYs. The possibilities for pumpkin decorating are endless. Let your imagination be your guide!
Here are a few ideas:
