On the 17th our ward had our "Super Saturday"....on Friday night. I was asked to teach a pumpkin carving class. Really? Yep. Who knew I was an expert on pumpkins...not! However, in preparation for the class, I did come across some cute ideas and great tricks for carving. My favorite two tricks this year?
1) Hollow out your pumpkin from the bottom. Looks so much cuter w/ the stem area untouched. And easy peasy for the lighting...just place pumpkin on the lit candle (no reaching inside)
2) The apple corer!!!! This thing makes the best, most perfect circles!
I had fun with the spray paint and craft paint...even added some rhinestones. If you really want to go crazy try carving only the outer flesh. It took me awhile, but I love the results. Happy Carving!

Wow! I should have looked a few days ago! great job though and I love the cutting the hole in the bottom.
Booootiful! I love it this was the perfect post for me ...I am carving today! I totally am going to try cutting the hole in the bottom!
Those are the cutest pumpkins. I would have never thought to cut the hole in the bottom. Way to think outside the box.
Awesome! You inspired me. We carved tonight. I'll post pictures tomorrow and you can see I owe you all the credit for mine :D
I want cute pumpkins too! I'll try this tomorrow with the girls.
Julie, you are certainly always the clever one. I loved all your Halloween pics and pumpkins!
You are so creative they knew you would do a great job. I love the white pumpkins- I always get those if I can find them!
