Looking for a Halloween or fall decoration that’s less messy than scooping piles of innards? If the palette of fall’s oranges and browns just isn’t your style.

So you will want to pick two colors that work together. You could try a sea punk blue to purple, a refined silver to white, or peacock blue to white.

These ombre glittered mini pumpkins are worth crafting for sure! I love the sparkle they can bring to usual Halloween decorations. These little guys are totally inexpensive, though they don’t look cheap. Before you get started, clean your mini pumpkins with soapy water. This will help keep them from rotting. When you pick your mini pumpkins, keep in mind you’ll only see the stems and not the bruises on the pumpkins so go for awesome stems instead of perfect pumpkins. Watch the video tutorial and continue crating!
