6 How to Carve a Pumpkin Round, smooth pumpkin tall or short are both OK Short sharp knife, or pumpkin carving knife Large spoon Fine-tipped felt or permanent marker Vegetable oil Large bowl to collect seeds and pumpkin gunk 1. Start by drawing a hexagon around the stem of the pumpkin that is large enough to fit your hand through with a some room to spare. 2. Carefully cut out the hexagon lid, angling the handle of the knife slightly away from the center of the pumpkin. This angle will help to keep the lid in place. 3. Remove the lid and cut away the seeds and gunk that will be attached to the bottom of it. Save the seeds if you want to roast them later. 4. Now reach in and scoop out all the gunk and seeds from the inside of the pumpkin. A large spoon will help with this. 5. When the inside of the pumpkin is clean, carefully draw your pattern on the outside of the pumpkin. Don t make the details too fine, or it will be very difficult to carve. 6. Use your sharp knife to carefully pierce the pumpkin inside of the facial features and carefully cut along the lines you ve drawn. This is where a pumpkin carving knife will really help to get the finer details. 7. Remove the facial features by pressing on them from the inside with your hand or a spoon. 8. When the eyes, mouth, etc. have been removed, rub some vegetable oil on the inside of the carved facial features and inside the pumpkin. This will help it to stay fresh. 9. Set a small votive or tea candle inside the pumpkin and light it. This will create the subtle glow that s so reminiscent of Halloween.
