Check out these Creative Decorating Ideas for you indoor or outdoor space that you could easy make by yourself. Orange-and-white centerpiece. White pumpkins encircled by bittersweet vine and set along an orange table runner create a striking table arrangement.

 Gold-leaf pumpkin. This white-and-gold arrangement dresses up a porch or mantel. Coat real or crafts-store leaves with gold spray paint, then glue them to small white pumpkins (look for varieties such as ‘Lumina’ or Cotton Candy at your local farmers market or pumpkin patch). Paint small orange gourds gold to match the color scheme.

Fanciful pumpkins. Fluttering butterflies alight on pumpkins in this attractive fall centerpiece. For this easy fall craft, we spray-painted faux butterflies from a crafts store all black for a sophisticated look and then trimmed their wires to press into the pumpkins’ skin. A harlequinlike mask adds whimsy.

Go batty. Painted bats (or bats cut from black construction paper) look spooky on your doorstep or inside.

Pumpkin Party Cooler. You don’t need a fairy godmother to turn a pumpkin into an ice bucket. Choose a large, wide pumpkin. Cut off the top third with a serrated knife or keyhole saw and scrape out the pulp and seeds. Line the gourd with a glass or plastic bowl to prevent it from becoming water-logged. If the pumpkin opening is a bit too small for the bowl, carefully shave the inside edge with a spoon. Finish by filling the bowl with ice and bottled drinks. Fill the bowl with ice and bottled drinks. Glittered Chevron Pumpkin. Hunt down sparkly ribbon for this oh-so-easy chevron pumpkin. Cut lengths to make a zigzag line around the top of your pumpkin, then attach with spray ahesive. Press adhesive gems above the ribbon for embellishment.

Glittery Pumpkin. Glam up a pumpkin with silver sequins, rhinestones, and a metallic silver spider.

Or go horizontal for a change of pace. Painting the pumpkin’s stem adds glam.
