Halloween is here - the most spooktacular holiday of them all! In this fun step-by-step tutorial, well show you how to carve a creepy cute pumpkin using our free printables. Its so easy, even the kiddos can join in!
What youll need:
- Pumpkins
- A pair of scissors
- A sharp knife
- A big spoon or ice cream scoop
- Tea lights
- Markers (we used our fineliners)
- Cut out a hole at the top of the pumpkin, saving this lid for later.
- Scoop out the pulp and seeds with your spoon or ice cream scoop. (Reserve the seeds for roasting if you like, or if youre feeling super ambitious, sow them in a pot of soil for homegrown pumpkins next year!)
- Download our carving patterns and print them out, then cut out your favorite design.
- Place the design on your pumpkin and draw the outline.
- Start cutting out the design, removing the bigger chunks first, then going back to clean up the edges later. Mind those fingers if you have little hands helping you!
- Place a tea light in the centre of the pumpkin and put the lid back on again. Place the pumpkin outside to keep it fresh-looking longer.
