  1. every single one….a terrific idea. I always hate to just toss out my pumpkins. One year I sprayed them silver and gold and kept them in the yard as Christmas decorations. 🙂 But usually I just put them in the woods for the animals to enjoy. xo

  2. Using them as a soup bowl lid is so creative! What cute ideas. We are entertaining teenagers this weekend so I am using mini-pumpkins for serving queso dip. They make wonderful dip and soup bowls.

  3. What great ideas! I wish I had've seen this before I threw my mini pumpkins into the compost heap. 🙁 Will have to remember for next year.
