Directions
- Carve your pumpkins the way you normally would. Take a notch out of the top, clear the guts and seeds.
- Pick a design and sketch it on the pumpkin. I went with some stars and pretty flower designs, but for simplicity’s sake I sketched-out where on the pumpkin the stars would go. Once the drill starts up it has a habit of skipping across the pumpkin skin, so if you have a place to aim the drill it will go much better.
- Start drilling! In my design I used a couple of different sizes in drill bits because I wanted to create depth in the design.
- Get the candles in there and enjoy your work!
