CARVING TIME!

The first initial step would be to, well, buy a pumpkin. Whether it be your local grocery store or pumpkin patch [  Tanaka Farms ], find the pumpkin that calls out to you. It will begin to allow those needed creative vibes to flow. Second, take a marker and draw a circle around the upper region surrounding the stem. This step is important in preparing to hollow out your fruit. Once you have cut and hollowed out the inside, take your spoon and rub against the inside alongside where you will trace your design on the opposite side. Once that’s done, take your pen and draw out what you want carved onto the pumpkin. Then begin carving. Once the pumpkin is carved, wipe all debris from the pumpkin, place your tea candle inside, and you’re all done…with the creating and carving at least.
