🎃Do’s and Don’ts of Pumpkin Carving. Wait till you see #4
🎃It is a treasured tradition in our family to carve jack-o-lanterns for Halloween.Â
But with all the yuck and mess, sometimes my kids would quit the project before we even started. Â
Babs’ Do’s and Don’ts for Pumpkin Carving, saves the mess and speeds up carving so you can have the perfect jack-o-lantern with no mess and no fuss. Â
Happy Halloween 🎃XO Babs:
1. Carve from bottom.  That way you have the stem to hold onto and you can easily slip the pumpkin right over a candle or flashlight.
2. Hold pumpkin in your lap to carve.  You will have a much steadier pumpkin to cut.  Â
3. Use a red dry erase marker to sketch your design. It erases easily and if you miss a spot, it blends in.
4. Use a hand mixer to clean out your pumpkin.
5. Use cookie cutters and a rubber mallet to carve your design.
6. Cover all cut surfaces with Vaseline to keep the pumpkin moist after carving. Â
Pumpkins should last 1-2 weeks carved! 7. Sprinkle some cinnamon on the inside top of your pumpkin for festive pumpkin spice smell when a candle is lit inside the pumpkin.Â
