Introduction: Jack O' Lantern Brain!
This is a silly take on the classic jack o' lantern! It would be a fun addition to a Halloween display.
Supplies
- Small white pumpkin
- Medium pumpkin

Step 1: Finding the Right Pumpkins
The white pumpkin should be about half the size of the orange pumpkin.
Most grocery stores have many different sizes and colors of pumpkins.
Step 2: Carving the Hole for the Brain
Cut the top off the orange pumpkin and clean out the inside.
Test fit the white pumpkin.
Cut away the orange pumpkin a small amount at a time until the white pumpkin fits tightly.
Step 3: Carving the Brain
Cut an opening on the bottom of the white pumpkin.
Clean out the inside of the white pumpkin.
Draw a brain pattern using an online image as your inspiration.
Use a v cut woodworking tool to carve away the skin of the white pumpkin on the pattern.
Carve a surprised or scared in the orange pumpkin.
The white pumpkin should be held up by fitting tightly in the orange pumpkin.
Step 4: Finding the Right Spot
Add a battery operated jack o' lantern candle and enjoy the spooky glowing brain!
