Cute as a Button!

Here is an adorable idea for decorating with pumpkins this fall from iVillage.com. Cheap tip: Use stray buttons you already have around the house.
Also from iVillage, check out more ideas for DIY costumes.
You can also spray-paint pumpkins and gourds. My friend Anna, who put together my wedding reception, spray-painted pumpkins gold (the theme of my wedding) and mixed them with fall foliage and candles for the centerpieces. They turned out beautifully!
