If you've bought all the tasteful Halloween decor, lit your fall candles, carved your pumpkin, and still have Halloween energy to spare, we'd like to direct your attention toward the fresh batch of DIY pumpkin decorating ideas on TikTok. PumpTok — no, we wouldn't do that to you — is a crafting dream where wonderful things are made with plastic pumpkins, twine and spooky-season spirit.
With the right type of paint, you can turn a $2 dollar-store pumpkin not into a slipper but Pottery Barn-inspired craft that looks like fragile terra-cotta ceramic. Empty toilet paper rolls are snipped into pumpkin miniatures, and yarn and Styrofoam unite for a softer take on the season's prize squash.
From to super simple to the not-so super simple, peruse the 12 DIY pumpkin decorating ideas below to find one that's right for you.

DIY Pumpkin Pillows! 😍🎃 Share this DIY with a friend for a fun craft night…and invite me haha! Materials needed and instructions below! Materials: ❤️Fabric for your pumpkin 🧡Burlap 💛Poly-fil 🤎Unicorn Horns (I found them at Joanns) ❤️Krazy craft glue 🧡Scissors 💛Jute string 🤎Upholstery thread (you’ll need strong thread for this project) ❤️Tapestry needle Instructions: 🎃Cut your fabric in a rectangle. Here are the measurements I used for my sizes! ⬇️ Large pumpkin: L: 44.5” x W: 21.5” Medium pumpkin: L: 35” x W: 15” Small pumpkin: L: 22” x W: 11” 🎃Take your tapestry needle and thread and sew a running stitch along both of the long edges of the rectangle. Make sure to leave a tail of thread (a couple inches) at both ends of the fabric. 🎃Fold your fabric in half, with the fluffy side facing in, and stitch along the short edge. 🎃Once you finish pull the two tail threads on one edge and tie them shut. This is the bottom of your pumpkin! 🎃Next, stuff your pillow and then tie it shut. You can tuck in the loose thread inside of the pillow. 🎃Take your jute string and guide it under the pillow. Bring it to the top, cross the string over and wrap it back around the bottom of the pillow. Continue this step, altering from the top and bottom of the pillow. This is how you create those cute sections in the pumpkin! It’s kind of like wrapping a present. Continue this step until you’re happy with the sections. Make sure to tie the string tight when you finish! 🎃For the stem, cut the unicorn horn to the size you’d like and glue it to the pumpkin. 🎃Glue jute string around it to cover the styrofoam. 🎃To finish, glue a little burlap square on top of the stem and trim around it once the glue is dry! And voila! #falldiy #fallprojects #diyproject #diyhome #bhghome #hunkerhome #betterhomesandgardens #handmadewithjoann #pumpkinpillow #fallcraft #diycraft #pumpkinspice #diytutorial #crafttutorial #falldecor #falldiydecorA great project even if you're new-ish to sewing, these pumpkin pillows get their distinct indents from string wrapped around the pillow.
