If you are still staring at the pumpkin you purchased for a decoration, and really don’t want to carve it, then watch it deteriorate into a moldy pile of goo; paint it!

If you use non-toxic paint, you can even convert the pumpkin to homemade pumpkin puree when you switch out the fall decorations for Christmas ornaments.

What do you think? I love this idea; I can have my pumpkin and eat it too!
