Pumpkin for decorating?

Halloween is over. Today I bought a huge pumpkin in perfect shape for $4. I have my pumpkin for cooking pies, bread, cake (spice), and frozen smoothies. All I can think of is to put the pumpkin outside with some silk leaves—no cornstalks or place to put them. Our shrubs are all evergreen. I’ve never had a pumpkin so big and beautiful. Any ideas?

Pumpkins are beautiful Thanksgiving decorations. Keep it outside with just a few silk leaves or colorful mums around it. Paint a sign on a piece of wood and place next to it as well. The sign could say "Happy Thanksgiving

Hello! Here are the many Hometalk pumpkin ideas. See if any of them appeal to you:

I think your idea of putting it outside is the best because it won't last as long if it is inside. I would elevate it a block of wood, a metal tub or cement block or you could set it on a tall flower pot. You could spray paint it a bright green (or whatever you like) to add some color. I put my pumpkins out in September on a porch that is covered but not closed in and they last until Thanksgiving.
I like painted pumpkins! You can customize them to your personal style while feeling that autumn festive vibe.
