As Halloween approaches, it’s time to get creative with your pumpkin carvings!
Start by choosing a fresh, firm pumpkin with a sturdy stem. Cut from the bottom instead of the top to make it more stable. For easy scooping, use an ice cream scoop to remove seeds and pulp. Sketch the intended design on paper with a marker before transferring it to the pumpkin. Use specialized pumpkin carving tools for precision.
To extend the life of your masterpiece, rub petroleum jelly on the cut edges and store it in a cool place. Enjoy the spooky season with a glowing creation.
