Wear Gloves

In addition to laying down some newspaper or trash bags on your work surface, don’t forget to protect your hands from all of the grossness of pumpkin guts! It’s as easy as wearing a pair of disposable gloves. You’ll be surprised how much smoother the process can be this way.

Cut Off the Bottom

Most people cut off the top of their pumpkin to get inside for scooping purposes. But the real pros know that the best move is to go through the bottom. This way, you’re preserving the stem, which will keep your pumpkin fresh for longer, and you’ll be pulling most of the seeds out of the pumpkin when you remove the bottom. Don’t forget to save the seeds for roasting!

Use a Stencil

While you can totally go freehand on your jack-o-lantern and let yourself get creative, using a stencil is the best way to guarantee a successful result. It also lets you get a little more complicated than just the classic triangle eyes and nose.

Pumpkin Patch

First thing’s first, you need to get a pumpkin, which is going to take you to your local pumpkin patch. Likely located on a farm, these places offer fun for everyone. Petting zoos, hayrides, and maybe even a haunted house, a lot of places go all out for Halloween season. And of course, make sure you count in the time you’ll need to pick the perfect pumpkin to put on the porch. 

Carving

Once you’ve picked out a show-stopping squash, you have your work cut out for you. Or rather, cut out of the pumpkin, cause next up is carving time! Before you can make a Jack-o-lantern, you have to remove the guts and seeds from the pumpkin. Cut a whole in the top, and set everything aside. You can use the insides to make healthy snacks, including roasted pumpkin seeds, pie, muffins, and more. 

After the good stuff is set aside, it’s time to design. take a marker to outline the shape that you want to carve in. Once you have your design cut out, put a candle inside, and see it light up. It’s always fun to have a carving contest too. 

Pumpkins are a great reason to get out of the house and to occupy your time during quarantine. Use Autumn to its full advantage before the winter months come.
