Not all pumpkins have to be spooky, or even orange for that matter. Check out some of these gorgeous pumpkins for a less traditional look. These would also be great for Thanksgiving decorations as well.
1. Use an electric drill in varying sizes to get a quick and sophisticated look. You can also use a hammer and small cookie cutters to create a similar look.
2. Get inspired by patterns around you. Use lino cutters to carve out an intricate pattern.
3. This autumn centerpiece uses a flea market chandelier turned upside-down. (You could also spray the chandelier black for a spookier display at your Halloween party)
4. Use woodcarving tools or small pieces of pipe to create a lace-like pattern.
5. This thorny pattern is inspired by antique chinaware.
6. Light your front steps or your living room, with a lantern inspired pumpkin.
