3) Paint Dipped Pumpkin Tutorial from Erin Spain.  I wanted to be sure to include some cute pumpkin ideas that don’t involve carving because frankly, I don’t enjoy pumpkin carving all that much.  It’s messy and kind of gross, right?!  So I’m loving this paint-dipped pumpkin tutorial from my friend Erin.  It’s modern and GORGEOUS.
