Five brilliant and easy ways to use your pumpkins at Halloween

OK, we know it's still a while away yet, but when we came across these ridiculously cool pumpkin ideas, we had to share them with you. 

So, if you're having a Halloween party this year and want to impress, these pumpkin hacks will take your party to the next level:

Create a pumpkin serving bowl

Skip the punch bowl and pour some cider inside a pumpkin instead. Not only does this look brilliant, the pumpkin flavour will infuse into your drink for tasty autumn goodness. 

 

Serve food in pumpkin dishes

Get miniature pumpkins to act as individual serving bowls for whatever meal you decide to cook up. The flavours and colours will make it a dish people will want to come back for. 

 

Turn your pumpkin into a keg

Create a fantastic beer beverage container by attaching a spigot to a pumpkin! Everyone at your party will be seriously impressed. 

 

Cool beverages

Fill a scooped out pumpkin with ice for the perfect place to cool your wine or beer. For best results, look for a pumpkin that can lay flat on it's side.

 

Turn your pumpkin into a party menu

Cover your pumpkin with chalkboard paint (which you can get here) for the perfect spot to place your menu. Last minute changes? Don't worry! You're pumpkin won't be ruined as the words are easily changeable.
