🎃 How to Carve the Perfect Pumpkin

There’s something about October that makes carving a pumpkin feel like the right thing to do. 🎃🍂 Whether you’re going for a classic jack-o’-lantern or attempting something worthy of a neighborhood contest, a few simple tricks can make a big difference.

🎃 Pick the right pumpkin
Look for one that feels firm and heavy with a sturdy stem. A smooth, relatively flat carving surface will make your design much easier. And don’t carry it by the stem... tempting as it may be!

🔪 Cut the opening from the bottom
Instead of cutting around the stem, cut a hole in the bottom of the pumpkin. It makes it easier to set the finished pumpkin over a candle or light, and you won't have to wrestle with lining up the lid every time.

🥄 Thin the wall where you're carving
After removing the seeds and pulp, scrape the inside wall behind your design until it's about ¾ to 1 inch thick. Your knife will go through much more easily and you'll have better control over the details.

✏️ Draw first. Carve second.
Sketch your design on paper first or print a template. Tape it to the pumpkin and transfer the design before you start cutting. A dry erase marker can also work well for drawing directly on the pumpkin.

🔪 Save the tiny details for last
Start with the larger sections and work toward the smaller ones. This helps keep the pumpkin sturdy while you're carving.

✨ Make it glow
Battery-operated LED candles are easy, bright and much safer than an open flame. You can even use small colored lights for a completely different look.

🧴 Help it last longer
Once carved, keep your pumpkin cool whenever possible. If the edges begin to shrivel, soaking the pumpkin in cold water for a few hours can sometimes perk it back up.

And perhaps the most important rule...
There is no such thing as a bad pumpkin. 😂

Crooked smile? Character.
One eye bigger than the other? Personality.
Accidentally cut off a tooth? He clearly lost it eating Halloween candy. 🍬😂
