Making jack-o-lanterns can be fun, but what do you do when you want to avoid all the gooey mess? No problem! Skip the traditional pumpkin carving and create these fabulous Howl-oween hounds instead! No scooping, carving or messy cleanup required.

Using this No-Carve Howl-oween Puppy Pumpkin DIY, you can decorate the front stoop in one fell swoop with festive holiday pumpkins in honor of your furry best friends. And they’re a fun-filled family activity that’s sure to have the whole neighborhood talking!

You’ll need…

  • White or orange pumpkin
  • Acrylic paints in white, brown or black
  • Burlap or brown felt for ears
  • Brushes
  • Felt tip marker
  • Sharpie markers in black, brown, gold or silver
  • Scissors 
  • Hot glue gun and sticks

Step 1

Paint your pumpkin using your pup’s general colors and markings. In this example, the majority of this white pumpkin is painted gold for the puppy’s body color.

Step 2

Grab a felt tip marker and trace the face or other markings. Then use the sharpie to fill in the eyes, nose and mouth.

Step 3

Cut out burlap, fabric or felt for the ears… whatever you have on hand…and hot glue them in place on the head.

Step 4

Paint or wrap jute rope around the stem as a final touch, if you’d like.

These pumpkin pups are the pawfect addition to your decor, right? So why not make a few?!! Give all your jack-o’-lanterns a spooky or pretty makeover with these easy tips using other things around the house like cheese cloth, googly eyes, and other creative accessories. 

And as an added bonus – these no-carve pumpkins last much longer than their counterparts, so they should last all season long!
