Do you carve scary pumpkins faces or friendly pumpkins faces or other faces?

1. debm55..

If I tried to carve a pumpkin I'd probably end up cutting off my hand....

It amazes me that people can even do it....

4. They have stencils now. I have seen some great ones. Thank you Upthevibe. Better to be safe, though.

7. I haven't carved a pumpkin in years

When my kids were little, there were book stencils available with the carving tools. Most of our pumpkins didn't have faces, they had 3D style Halloween themes that could be stenciled on them, like this....






Today, I have one plastic pre-lit pumpkin. Even though they can be plugged into an outlet, I'll place a small bag of sand inside of it for weight and place a battery operated candle inside. I would buy more, but they take up valuable room.





They have crafting pumpkins too that one can carve and use every year.

9. Thank you Niagara, That'a what we used, I don't do anything to them anymore, They just sit and relax on the porch,

10. You're welcome, Debbie. One year I left uncarved pumpkins out on the porch and the squirrels hollowed

them out before Halloween arrived.


Carving is just too much work anymore.

11. I dont carve mine

I just let them rot on the front porch. By Christmas it will scare everyone away.

15. Mine are gone by the end of October, We take them into the woods to feed the deer

13. Not Any More

We used to, but they stay longer as fall yard decor if you don't poke holes in them and let all that extra oxygen in.
At least, that's how I convinced my wife to not make me carve them!
BTW: It is true that they last longer.

16. ProfessorGAC, great thinking, I used ti hate cleaning out all the pumpkin innards

[ProfessorGAC]

17. Oh, I Still Have To Do That!

My wife wants to roast the seeds
But, I just take a chef's knife & a rubber mallet to cut the things in halves.
Not much detail work!

[debm55]

18. Oh that poor pumpkin.
