Thumb tacks are an inexpensive decorating option. Paint your pumpkin to add some color and make the thumb tacks pop against the background.

6.Cookie Cutters

Cookie cutters aren't just for baking! Once you've removed the seeds, pick a cookie cutter of your choice and gently tap it through your pumpkin.
