I don’t think anything says Halloween better than a grinning Jack-o-lantern! Pumpkin carving has been around for a long time but is mostly associated with the occasion of Halloween. If you’ve never had any experience with pumpkin carving and would like to give it a try, or are looking to kick up your carving skills a notch, then here are some great tips to help you make some great spooky pumpkin lanterns.

The first step with pumpkin carving is to pick out your pumpkin. They are readily available at your local grocery store pretty much throughout October. The other option is to find a local pumpkin patch where you and your family can go and actually pick your own pumpkins from the field.

Whatever shape pumpkin you pick, you should consider this as your canvas (you’re an artist now!). The bigger the pumpkin is, the easier it will be to carve. You don’t have to just stop at one pumpkin, you could get a whole bunch and create a collection of Jack-o-lantern decorations all around your home.

To begin your pumpkin carving session, you should spread out some newspaper on a table, under your pumpkin. You’ll need to carefully slice around the top to make a lid and then hollow out all the pumpkin guts. If you are carving with your kids, it’s safer if an adult does this part as it can be a little tricky.  You can either throw the pumpkin innards out or another option is to roast the seeds in the oven for a tasty treat.

Once you have cleaned out your pumpkin, you could sketch on the outside the face or design you’ll be carving. Pumpkin carving has become a such a big business nowadays that there are various pumpkin carving kits available wherever Halloween decorations are sold. Also there are many templates and pumpkin stencils that you can use to make decorating your lantern a little easier.

Pumpkin carving can either mean cutting out and removing chunks of your pumpkin to create a design, or delicately and carefully removing only the top layer of pumpkin skin to give a glow-through effect design. By leaving the thin inner skin of the pumpkin you can generate and eerie glow when placing a candle or small battery light inside your pumpkin. This second way of doing it is a little more tricky, but it’s worth the extra effort as it really looks stunning!

If you’re looking for pumpkin carving inspiration and ideas, there are plenty of pictures and instructional videos that are just a Google search away. At the top of this page I have included a great resource for pumpkin face patterns, there’s actually 31 pumpkin ideas,all are suitable for kids to do.  Some are scary pumpkin patterns, some are funny pumpkin designs and then there’s some weird pumpkin carvings – something for everyone!

All you have to do now is decide on the pumpkin carving pattern you want to use. If you are looking for something that is a bit more extreme as a pumpkin carving project, you may want to check out the ones at Extreme Pumpkins.com, there’s some really unique ones over there!

If you are having a kids Halloween party at your house this year, why not decorate your home and yard with a whole army of these guys, making their faces match the theme of your party, it can look very effective.  Say for example you were having a witch party, then carve different witch patterns and black cat patterns or cauldron patterns and ask your guests to all dress up as witches or wizards.  Or if you are having a scary theme kids party, then carve your pumpkins with designs such as skulls, scary ghosts, monstrous faces, werewolves, Frankenstein, bats etc. and ask your gusts to all dress up in kids scary costumes.

Hope these Jack-o-lantern carving tips have helped, and of course, once your pumpkin carving is complete, don’t forget to take plenty of pictures because sooner or later your masterpiece is going to wilt away!
