  • Select a fresh pumpkin in a shape that pleases you. Some folks prefer their pumpkins low and round, while others like them tall and oval-shaped.


  • Draw a circle or hexagon on top of the pumpkin in preparation for making an opening large enough for your hand to reach through.


  • Cut through the stem end of the pumpkin along your outline with a sharp knife or pumpkin-carving tool. Use a back-and-forth slicing motion to cut through the thick, tough skin.

  • Remove the stem end, which will act as a cap, making sure you scrape off any seeds or pulp.


  • Use a large spoon to scoop out the seeds and pulp from inside the pumpkin. Hold the spoon by its bowl to get extra leverage while scooping.


  • Draw a pattern for the face on the clean pumpkin with a felt-tip pen, or scribe the lines into the skin using a pencil. Be sure to make the eyes, nose and mouth large enough; you'll have a hard time cutting out tiny features when you're using a big knife blade to saw through tough skin.


  • Follow your pattern as you cut all the way through the pumpkin.

  • Push the cut-out features gently from the inside of the pumpkin and discard the pieces.


  • Place a votive candle inside the pumpkin to create an eerie glow
