Posted on October 30, 2023
Carve a Pumpkin

What would Halloween be without a carved pumpkin sitting on your porch or at the window looking out at all the trick or treaters? Make this Halloween special by carving your own pumpkin.

Tools and Materials you will probably use:

  • Pumpkin
  • Keyhole saw
  • Plaster scraper or fleshing tool
  • Sharp awl, needle tool, T pin or thumbtack
  • Miniature saw
  • Linoleum cutter
  • Petroleum jelly

STEP #1: Choose pumpkin. Choose a pumpkin that’s large and smooth with a stem of at least 2”. If you plan to put a candle inside, choose a ground that’s at least 9” tall.

QUICK TIP: Pumpkins with smaller stems rot quickly.

STEP #2: Draw circle or hexagon. Draw a circle or hexagon on the top of the pumpkin an inch or two below the stem. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect, but make sure it’s a little bigger than your fist. read more
