Scary Pumpkin Carving

This is a super easy pumpkin carve that will be sure to look spooktacular! This design is unique because the stem of the pumpkin acts as a nose (the pumpkin is laid on its side)

1x big pumpkin

1x marker

1x serrated knife or pumpkin carving tool

1x chiseling tool (flathead screwdriver will work if you do not have pumpkin chiseling tool)

1x ice cream scooper

1x bowl

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 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 and try again. You can add extra elements to the design if you wish.

Use the chiseling tool (or the flathead screwdriver) to carefully chip the pupils of the eyes and the teeth. Be careful and try to stay inside the lines.

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, and the parts that were chiseled out will be flimsy, so remember to be careful around them.

Light the tea-light candle and put it inside the pumpkin. Then, put the bottom of the pumpkin back on.

Find a nice spot to place your pumpkin, and hope you had fun!
