Our concepts can be made with specific pumpkin carving kits or even with different knives for carving. Make sure an adult supervises handling of these sharp objects.
- Miniature saw or drywall saw
- Sculpting knife or linoleum knife
- Fleshing tool or large spoon
- Punch or large needle
- Adhesive tape
Step 1. Prepare the pumpkin
Place the pumpkin on its side, on a flat, stable work surface. Use a saw to cut out a circle at the base or top of the pumpkin.
Step 2. Empty out the pumpkin
Step 3. Duplicate the image
Choose your model at the bottom of the article. Right-click on the chosen image, then select “Save image as”. Once saved, right-click again and select “Print”.
Stick the printed template to your pumpkin with masking tape. Using a punch or large needle, prick the skin of the pumpkin every 1/8 to 1/4 inch, so as to reproduce the outline of the pattern.
Step 4. Carve the pumpkin

Step 5. Add lighting
Make sure light sources do not touch the interior surface of the pumpkin, and to avoid the risk of fire, unplug them before leaving the house.
