These Aren’t Your Grandma’s Jack-o’-Lanterns! 5 Fresh Pumpkin Carving Ideas
There’s nothing wrong with carving your pumpkin a spooky grin and calling it a day — but what if you want to change things up this year? If you do, you’re in luck! Kevin felt the same way before pumpkin carving with his wife and kids, so he rounded up these five fresh ideas to share. 1. The Supernatural Pumpkin: To level up your pumpkin’s classic grin, invest in a tube of glow-in-the-dark paint. You can use it to make the jack-o’-lantern’s teeth and eyes glow! Trick-or- treaters in your neighborhood will love the spectacle after dark. 2. The Pumpkin-Rama: This option is perfect if you have a few miniature skeletons, witches, or goblins left over from Halloween decorating. Instead of carving a face in your pumpkin, carve out a large rectangle about the height of a toothpick. Then, use your Halloween decorations to create a scene inside the pumpkin! As a finishing touch, add toothpicks vertically to the opening to create the effect of prison bars. Make sure you display this pumpkin on your counter where everyone can admire your work. 3. The High-Tech Pumpkin: Tired of Casper the Friendly ghost? Try carving your pumpkin into the ghost emoji! The tech-smart kids in your house will get a kick out of it. 4. The Golfer’s Dream Pumpkin: This option is really creative. If you love to golf, take care when carving your classic jack- o’-lantern to create a wide mouth that goes all the way to the bottom of the pumpkin. Then, place the jack-o’-lantern on the
ground and practice putting balls into it! You can even use a strip of red fabric to create a fairway that looks like a tongue. 5. The Faceless Pumpkin: For this pumpkin, start carving a face as you normally would. Then, when the face is finished, carve in a large circle or oval around it so you can remove it from your pumpkin! If you lean the face up against the jack- o’-lantern and scatter a few googly eyes on the ground, you’ll create the funny illusion its face has fallen off! If none of these options stand out to you, FamilyHandyman.com, HouseBeautiful.com, and Delish.com have dozens of great ideas, too!
