⦁ A Halloween pumpkin turned into a flower arrangement. A nice idea is to place in the middle, once empty, a bouquet of flowers. And we are not talking about just any bouquet, but the perfect autumn bouquet full of hydrangeas, pansies, and chrysanthemums.
⦁ Pumpkin candles for Halloween. Another magnificent decorative bet is to use the empty pumpkin as a candle. To do this, you will have to empty it a little less and place a candle at the bottom—ideal for putting as a centerpiece on the table.
⦁ A very original aperitif. It can also be used as a decorative element for celebrations. The original idea is to empty the pumpkin and cut it into a face shape, making its mouth very large as if it were vomiting. Then place it on a tray and spread guacamole in the middle and nachos down the sides from the inside of your mouth to the end of the silver.
⦁ The pumpkin dishes. Using them as dishes is also a very original way of presenting recipes. You just have to empty it and place inside it soups, creams, fruit salads, melted cheese, and everything that comes to mind. You are sure to leave your guests very surprised!
⦁ Paint Halloween pumpkins with the children. A very fun activity to do with children is to paint the pumpkins once they are empty. To get the home's ideal touch, we recommend using colors such as white or green to add details. But another option is to paint them completely black and make them really terrifying.
⦁ Vinyl and stickers. If painting is not your thing, you can also choose to decorate them with vinyl and stickers such as small bats, dark castles, or cobwebs.
It's time to get down to business with the pumpkins, and we wish you all the luck in the world! An ideal family plan to spend a long time with the family. And if you also dare to cook a delicious recipe with the remains that have been left when emptying it, better than better.
