50 Best Easy Pumpkin Carving Ideas & Designs

Directions

1. Cut the pumpkin on the bottom to make it easier to put outdoor LED candles inside to light the pumpkin.
2. Use a pumpkin carving kit with serrated knives, a poker and a scoop, or use kitchen spoons and any small serrated knives.
3. To preserve carved pumpkins, make a spray of one part white vinegar to 1 part water, and spray the carved pumpkins every 2-3 days.
4. Another method is to mix 1-2 teaspoons of bleach per gallon of water and soak the carved pumpkin from 1 hour to overnight.
