I love love love decorating for Halloween, and my favorite part is pumpkin carving. If I had my way, we’d have our whole property decorated with all the different funky, bumpy varieties available. The only problem? There’s no time for all that. Plus, holy mess.
So this year I stocked up on the little guys, and found an easy decorating fix. It’s super cute, the kids love it, and it only cost me $1 plus .75 per pumpkin! (Plus, it’s totally on-trend.)
Mustache pumpkins!
Aren’t they cute? We were shopping at Dollar Tree for our Halloween decorations (because duh.) and I saw this pack of mustache tattoos for, obviously, a dollar. I immediately thought they’d be adorable on a lineup of tiny pumpkins, and I love the way they came out!
The temporary tattoos adhered to the pumpkins almost the same way they do with skin. You have to be a little more careful not to slide them around, but it was really easy to apply them. All you need is a wet rag, then make sure you place them down low on the pumpkin so it gives the illusion of a mustached face. (Or, you can use these adhesive mustaches to make them a little more weather-proof.)
We had our jack-be-littles done in no time, which is the perfect amount of time for a 4-year-old’s attention span.
The kids were able to help, and I didn’t even have to give them a bath after we were done. We’ll still carve a Jack O’Lantern for the big day, but since these aren’t cut, they’ll stay fresh and keep our porch looking cute all throughout October!
These are too cute. My tween will go crazy over them.
Those are so cute! I absolutely love this idea. This is a great project for families with small children. No knives!
Those are the cutest things ever. I want to make some!!

I absolutely LOVE how simple but adorable the mustaches are. I can’t wait to decorate and be done with packing/moving.

This is such a clever way to decorate for fall! I love that it’s so quick and easy, too.
I saw those but did not realize they were tattoos I did not know you could do this to pumpkins.

Those are so cute and you can’t get any easier! I personally LOVE pumpkin decorating that doesn’t involve carving! LOL
These are so neat and I’ve actually saw these adhesive mustaches at Dollar Tree a few days ago! I need to go back and pick some up!
