Step 3Carve!
The best part, carving! My family always carves the top of first and then cuts out the design after the pumpkin guts are cleaned out. So, do this, and repeat for each pumpkin.
For the lid, I suggest either cutting jags in the top or a notch so you don't put it on backwards or sideways. Also, remember to put a hole for the fumes from the candle to escape. Otherwise, they'll burn your lid and warp it.
Get a spoon to take out all of the guts. Save them insides for later on in the project. Mwahahahaha...
MAKE SURE YOU REMEMBER WHAT YOU'RE CUTTING. Don't make the mistake of cutting out a circle for a mouth and totally forgetting about the teeth. Not that I would know anything about doing that....
It turned out my smallest pumpkin became too hard to cut. I guess he was "petrified" of the other pumpkins going to eat him. ; ) I got another one and redid the design.
Additionally, when you are taking out any piece you cut out, especially the mouth, be careful! You don't want to break the teeth or pumpkin face.
For the mouthes, I cut the junk pieces into four sections. That way, I only had to worry about a little section each time I had to remove a piece. Keep these pieces for later on!
