My secret to amazing fall decorations that last from mid September through Thanksgiving is using foam pumpkins because they are the pumpkin that never rot! I carve them, paint them, drill them, rust them and so much more.
I have made some beautifully-carved foam pumpkins and it is super easy thanks to a woodburning tool.
Simply trace your pattern or plan out your design like you would for real pumpkins. Instead of using a carving knife, use the wood burning hot knife. The best part is that you can save your hard work and display it year after year!
