One of Pumpkin Crafting's most inspiring projects is the fairy house pumpkin. We had a delightful time making our own, and you should too. You can use anything that inspires you. We recommend going outside and looking for natural elements that could make for pretty details. Once you have those treasures collected, look around inside for even more decorations. Then, gather adhesives like tape, glue and toothpicks to attach.

Pumpkin Crafting is overflowing with ideas for whatever you decide to create. Don’t want to carve a pumpkin? Use paint to make your pumpkin beautiful. Consider transforming a pumpkin into a flower vase or a candle holder. Take your pumpkin out of this world into a starry night or into a delicious dessert.

Sure to be a seasonal favorite, add Pumpkin Crafting to your library to expand your imagination and make your home decor a joy to make and share.
