You can make an easy DIY Halloween or autumn decoration just by painting a pumpkin - or several. Scroll down to see a few pumpkins I painted for fall. With just a pumpkin, acrylic paint, and a paint brush, you can easily whip up something scary, silly, or cute.
Another idea would be to paint mini-pumpkins to use as place cards for Thanksgiving dinner. Just write the guest's name on the pumpkin with a marker and add some fall leaves or a painted turkey.
