You drove to a pumpkin patch (or the corner store) and picked out the perfect pumpkin. After you’ve cleaned out all the goo inside (and roasted the seeds for a yummy snack), it’s pumpkin carving time. But before you get started, consider your options. Here are three ways to make your pumpkin the best on the block.
1. Carve it…using technology
If you’re going for a classic pumpkin, there’s that old standby: taking something sharp and carving a face into it. Of course, you can go beyond the traditional toothy smile and triangle nose and ramp things up a notch by using a pumpkin carving stencil. With some added time and effort, your pumpkin can sport the mug of Woody from Toy Story, the Cheshire cat or even one of those blue dudes from Avatar. You can buy them online from sites like Zombie Pumpkins, and you can print them instantly.
