Happy Halloween, friends!! If you're like me, you're probably still rushing around putting last minute touches on things for tonight. It's okay. I got your back. Here are 11 easy pumpkin carving ideas you can do tonight, with the kids or by yourself, to get ready for the big party, celebration, and what not:
1. Carve a pumpkin with a drill.
You probably can't let the kids do this on their own but this is a great way to get a pumpkin done fast and accurately! Pumpking carving with a drill.
2. Fangs!
Make these vampire pumpkins with fake vampire fangs from the dollar store.
3. Draw It!
Just draw the faces on and use accessories, like hats, to give the pumpkins character.
4. Glitter it!
Check out this tutorial on glittering your pumpkins.
5. Cut the Top Off.
Just cut off the top and use googly eyes and felt to do the rest!
6. Make Polka Dots.
Use an apple corer or other kitchen gadget to make big holes in a pumpkin for a polka dot look.
7. Sick Pumpkin
Don't worry about cleaning the guts out — you'll need them to make your sick pumpkin come alive! This is one I carved a couple years back…beer bottles are optional ;)
8. Mummy Pumpkin
This one is super fun and easy to make!
9. Use Cookie Cutters
Seriously, I never thought of this! Genius to use the cookie cutters on pumpkins!
10. Use Spiders!
Glue on a bunch of dollar store spiders and bam, psycho pumpkin madness!
