Let your pumpkin do all the talking as trick-or-treaters come to your front door this Halloween. This is one fool-proof DIY project that even the most novice crafters can pull off with ease. To start, paint your entire pumpkin a solid color. When it dries, use a pencil to sketch out the message, then use glue dots to bring the word to life with M&M’S Ghoul’s Mix candies. Top the whole thing off with a decorative witch hat for an extra-spooky feel.

Few things go together quite like Halloween and decorated pumpkins. But if we’re being completely honest, few things are often as messy as the orange insides of a pumpkin when you’re in the throes of carving one up. So we busy moms owe a personal debt of gratitude to the saint among us who invented the no-carve pumpkin (seriously, bless you, whoever you are).
This year, give your pumpkins an extra dose of personality and pizzazz with the help of M&M’S Ghouls Mix. Their vibrant colors — each bag is a mix of purple, orange and green candies — offer endless possibilities for a blank canvas. From a mosaic tiled Jack-o-Lantern to pumpkins with a cheery greeting, these three no-carve options are the real MVPs this Halloween.

Is it even Halloween without Jack-o-Lanterns? In this mess-free DIY, the classic smiling pumpkin gets a mosaic makeover thanks to M&M’S Ghoul’s Mix. Grab as many individual candies as you wish and begin placing them on the pumpkin with glue dots for extra precision in your design. Turn it into a family-friendly competition and let everyone’s designs duke it out for the prized spot on the front stoop or in the front window.

Dress your mini pumpkins up as donuts for this fun trompe l'oeil. Begin by painting the frosting onto the top each mini pumpkin. When they’re dry, use glue dots to adhere individual M&M’S Ghoul’s Mix candies to the painted portion of the pumpkin to look like sprinkles. To keep the theme going, display your mini pumpkin donuts in a bakery box or on a cake stand in your kitchen.
