How to Carve Pumpkins with Cookie Cutters {So Easy and Fun!}

Directions

1. Position a metal cookie cutter flat against the pumpkin's surface, then tap one corner with a mallet until it breaks through the skin.
2. Continue tapping around all edges and corners of the cutter to drive it fully into the pumpkin.
3. Keep adequate gaps between cut-outs so the pumpkin structure remains strong and doesn't collapse.
4. If the cut piece doesn't pop out, use the mallet's wooden handle to push the shape through from inside.
5. Collect the seeds and pulp in a bowl if you plan to roast the seeds later.
6. Once finished, place a battery-operated tea light inside to illuminate your creation at night.
