In case you hadn't heard, we launched a brand-new DIY community Called The Snug (thesnug.com)! At The Snug, we spotlight top-trending DIY ideas, handpicked by the editors of our parent company Time Inc. and DIYers like you!

We're obsessed with pumpkins over at The Snug these days... especially no-carve pumpkins. The best part about no-carve pumpkins is that you can make them last all October (if they're real) and from year-to-year (if they're decorating pumpkins). We've rounded up the 10 best no-carve pumpkin projects on the Web (looking at you, Instagram) and we're bringing them to you!
