Whimsical Pumpkin Carve

This is a super easy pumpkin carve that will be sure to bring smiles on halloween night! This design is unique because it is spooky in a playful way!

1x big pumpkin

1x marker

1x serrated knife or pumpkin carving tool

1x ice cream scooper

1x bowl (to put scooped pumpkin insides)

1x tea-light candle (optional)

Step one, grab a big, round, and clean pumpkin. Gather all your materials and find a place to work where you don't mind it getting messy.

Draw a big circle on the bottom of your pumpkin. Then, carve out the circle. Remember to keep the cut out circle for later. Then, use the ice cream scooper to scoop all the insides clean. Remember, remove all the seeds and pulp, otherwise the pumpkin will look sloppy and will rot faster.

Use the marker to draw the design on the front of the pumpkin. Copy the design carefully, but if you make a mistake it is ok to erase with a wet towel and try again. You can add extra elements to the design if you wish.

Use the knife (or carving tool) to carve the rest of the design. Take your time when cutting because you only get one shot at carving the pumpkin! Be careful and try to stay inside the lines. If you mess up the design you can always improvise and change the design a bit!

Put the circle bottom of the pumpkin that was cutout in the beginning on the ground where you wish to place your pumpkin. Then, light the tea-light candle and put it on top of the cutout. Finally, place the pumpkin on top of the circular cutout.

You now have a spooktacular pumpkin to display! Hop you had fun!
