Amazing Fall Decorating Ideas With Fake Pumpkins
There are as many ways to dress up a fake pumpkin as there are ways to dress up for Halloween. Artificial pumpkins, also known as "Funkins," look very realistic in their natural state and are often used on porches and in seasonal vignettes during the fall.
Since they are not perishable, crafty people have found countless ways to paint them, shine them, or use ornaments, accent fabrics, and covering paper to use as seasonal accents fall after fall.
Plastic pumpkins, often used as candy buckets for young children, can also be painted and decorated in a variety of ways.
Find the Perfect Decorations for Every Celebration!
However, artificial pumpkins can serve a purpose beyond decoration. These creative uses for handmade pumpkins are as cute as they are practical, and they look festive for fall too.
Faux Pumpkin Vase
Place fake pumpkins in flower pots for your porch or patio. Place potted mums from the center of the garden into handmade pumpkins without even removing them from their plastic containers. Alternatively, hide a shallow vase inside a faux pumpkin and fill it with fresh-cut flowers from the supermarket to bring the vibrant fall colors inside.
Address carved from a fake pumpkin
Consider carving your house number into a handmade pumpkin as a unique way to add fall flavor to your home's exterior. This is a great idea if you are hosting a trick or treating party and want a more festive way to direct guests into your home. Also, you can air it from September to November, don't worry!
Fake pumpkin Door Decoration
Handmade pumpkins enhance the curb appeal when cut in half and hung on the front door. This is a great way to welcome fall home. You can choose to hang multiple decorated pumpkins, as seen here; however, only a large orange pumpkin on the front door would make a statement that could be seen from the street.
Pumpkin guest book
If you're having a fall wedding, a fake pumpkin is a one-of-a-kind guest book. Not only will your guests love writing their best wishes for you, but you can also display it each fall as a tribute to your nuptials and a reminder of your special day.
Pumpkin Fake Ice Bucket
If you're planning on throwing a Halloween party or other fall-themed party, an artificial pumpkin makes a great (and Instagram-worthy) container for cold drinks.
Cut the top off a large handmade pumpkin, then fill it with ice and wine or beer bottles. This setting is the perfect touch for any fall-themed party. Put it on a bar cart stocked with wine glasses and appetizer plates so the party can go wherever your guests are.
Craft Pumpkin Cookie Jar
Similarly, you can use a handmade pumpkin as a fluffy cookie or candy jar during the fall season. A chalkboard label taped to the outside of the pumpkin advertises the candy inside.
Since artificial pumpkins are not food safe, line the pumpkin with a plastic bag before placing cookies or other unwrapped treats inside. Seal the storage bag between uses to keep items fresh.
