1. Use Dry Erase Markers: some people use sharpies, but if you use dry erase you can correct mistakes and even change whats written on it daily

2. Use a Cookie Cutter and Mallet: perfect shapes! Just make sure its a metal cookie cutter

3. Use Colorful Glowsticks: instead of candles, safer and brighter

4. Make Holes with a Power Drill: for the lite-brite effect

5. Use Glow in the Dark Paint: if you aren't interested in actually cutting and carving, this is a fun way to decorate 

6. Cover in Stockings: for a creepy and easy look, get lace or fishnet stockings and put the pumpkin inside

7. Give it Teeth: "bubba" teeth for country pumpkin, wax lips for pretty pumpkins, and vampire teeth for scary pumpkins

8. Punch Bowl: hollow out a pumpkin, put a bowl inside, and fill with punch for your Halloween or Autumn party

TIPS: cut a hole in the back of your pumpkin (not just the top) for easier cleaning and candle-setting... preserve pumpkins with floor cleaner to keep the insides from rotting!
