How to develop your own Halloween pumpkin designs
You will need a tablespoon, sharp kitchen knife, paper, LED lighting and paint.

STEP 2 – When removing the pulp, be careful not to puncture the pumpkin surface.
STEP 3 – Using a pen, draw the outlines of the design you have selected. Most of the designs here are very simple and you don't need a template, but if you feel unsure you can find one online.
STEP 4 – Start cutting out the shape.
STEP 5 – for safety, use fairy lights to illuminate the pumpkin.

The half moon design can be illuminated by LED lights. The carved pumpkin with thorn motifs should only be cut out to the inner layer so that the flesh contrasts with the pumpkin surface.

Painted black and white pumpkins
Some designs require no carving, just painting - draw the outlines first and let your kids do the rest - Halloween is ultimately a family celebration and the preparation can be at least as much fun as the holiday itself!
