Paint a few in different colors for a welcoming porch decor idea or make a centerpiece of them before that big Halloween party you are throwing. Halloween decorating can be so much fun, and getting to paint pumpkins was certainly enjoyable for me, especially since this technique can be done by the nonartistic type like me.
