Not all jack-o-lanterns are created equal, but don’t worry. You don’t have to be a French sculptor or even a good artist to create funny, spooky, or beautiful jack-o-lanterns and pumpkins.

If you’re feeling crafty, grab a knife, some glue, and maybe some glitter and try out some of these pumpkin decorating tips.

In recent years, designers and pumpkin professionals have turned jack-o-lanterns into a classy affair, decorating pumpkins with lace, beautiful ribbons, and jewels.

Paint your pumpkins with black chalk paint, or spray them silver and then add glitter in patterns. Or keep the pumpkin orange and glue on buttons so they spell out “boo,” “spooky,” and other Halloween phrases.

You can even carve patterns into your pumpkin—forget faces! Carve out circles or triangles in a pattern and have a pretty jack-o-lantern. Scrape the pumpkin, don’t pierce it through with the knife, and you can make intricate tattoo-like patterns that light will shine through.

When it comes to creating a memorable jack-o-lantern, your options are endless. With a little creativity—and maybe some glue—you can turn an ordinary pumpkin into a personalized masterpiece.
