Make some super easy no-carve Mickey Mouse pumpkins for your fall porch or Halloween décor!
Hey friends! I'm so excited to share these Mickey Mouse pumpkins with you today. We LOVE Disney and my little girls are especially into the Mickey Mouse shorts on Disney+ right now.
I created a no-carve Mickey Mouse pumpkin for Disney Parks Blog and you can find that tutorial over there. Here, I will show you how to make a Mickey patterned pumpkin and a Minnie-inspired polka dot pumpkin!
No-Carve pumpkins are my favorite kind. I live in Texas, where if you carve a real pumpkin, it is rotten within a few days. Check out our No-Carve Pumpkin People, these cool Water Marbled Pumpkins and our Halloween page for more ideas!
I bought my craft pumpkins at multiple stores on sale. I prefer to buy different sizes of pumpkins. Before painting pumpkins or applying vinyl, make sure they are clean and there is no dust or dirt remaining on them.
