If you're decorating your home for Halloween, consider adding a plastic pumpkin to your front porch.

One clever project is to use plastic Halloween pumpkins to make burlap decorations. These are great for decorating any room. Instead of buying a new pumpkin every year, buy a few used ones and transform them into a unique accent for your home. You can also add a burlap rosette or a pumpkin stem to add a personal touch. You can even have a friend or family member make a Halloween pumpkin out of burlap.

 

 

Once you've finished trick-or-treating, you can reuse your plastic pumpkin by painting it white and adding black markers to the pumpkin's face. To add a classy look, cover the pumpkin's opening with old bag or duck tape. To make it more clever, you can even apply a skull made of duck tape.
