  • I carve a pumpkin or two every year and I love it. It’s not very complicated and anyone can do it, but there are some things that will make it a bit easier and give you better looking results. So in this video I show my way of carving pumpkins and share my techniques.
    What you’ll need:
    - Pumpkin
    - Old newspapers
    - Towel
    - Small kitchen knife or pumpkin carving set
    - Spoon
    - Pencil
    - Printed pattern
    - Tape
    - Needle
    - Bleach
    - Rubber gloves
    - Candle or lamp
    If you make one of your own, I'd love to see it! Send me a picture on Instagram @craftswithellen.

    Bonus tip if you carve a small hole in the back of the pumpkin near the bottom it will act as an air intake

    I really enjoyed your carvings. This is the first tutorial I've seen on removing the outer layer. TFS PS Thinning the inside where the design goes is life changing.

    Your suppose to cut a vent at the top within the lid so the candle doesnt burn out or soot up the top. Helpful hint. Just a small V hole would suffice. Where you cut the v notch to align the lid is what I use for my vent. To keep the notch there still i just cut the V in half so the notch is still there to align the lid.

    lol same as I’ve been doing it for years, bar the saw. I found a flexible thin kitchen knife was great; I’d like a new one though. Baking parchment paper is great for using as tracing paper - you can rub pencil on the rear and draw over it, whilst on the pumpkin; not being afraid to puncture it in key places like dots.
    The 3D effect is key in making it stand out. You do your best on the face, then can scoop out the inner side with a small tea spoon to get it perfect.

    great tips. growing up, we put candles inside, and set the jack-o-lanterns on the porch steps at night on halloween. we didn’t put a candle in the jack-o-lanterns for the purpose of a quick picture lol. it’s gotta be okay guys...we did this for years, we only lit them for one night.
