- You won’t have to worry about weird ridges tipping the candle over.
- You can cut a huge hole to access the inside and no one will be able to tell.
- If the candle is lopsided you can use this to stabilize and even it out.
- You don’t have to worry about the top of the pumpkin falling.
- You can hold the stem of the pumpkin and hit in on the ground to get the guts out.
- Cut upside down triangles for the eyes.
- Try tiny slits for teeth instead of huge gaps.
- Use square shapes instead of triangular.
- Cut the entire pumpkin through the middle. Just leave enough to support the top half.
- “Destroy” your pumpkin and use it anyway.
- Draw before you cut. Waterproof markers work best.
- Use large spoons instead of the cheap plastic scoops you find it sets.
- Carve outside. Less mess.
- Carve over papers. Then bundle it all up and toss it out.
- Pumpkins get slippery when carved. Keep a rag nearby to wipe it down, or your pumpkin may slip and end up destroyed.
