It’s almost pumpkin carving time! Check out these 10 ideas for spooky and silly Jack-o'-Lanterns to put out this Halloween!
Candy Monster:
Cut two eyes, and a big mouth, and place extra candy in the mouth spilling out!
Polka Dot:
This is one of the easiest pumpkin carvings yet! Poking holes in the pumpkin turns it into a stunning jack-o’-lantern.
A few years back, UW-Madison released some free pumpkin carving stencils. Carve your pumpkin into Bucky the Badger, a state outline, and more!
Cute or Creepy Smile:
Say cheese! Carving the orange skin off the pumpkin lets the teeth look oddly realistic! Make this one spooky, or sweet.
Puking Pumpkin:
Don’t waste the pumpkin guts, use them in your carving! This puking pumpkin is easy to make, and hilarious!
Spooky Spider:
This creepy, crawly spider design makes for a great jack-o’-lantern!
Zombie Brains:
Use two pumpkins for this carving, a big one, and a white mini one! This zombie brain pumpkin will scare the whole neighborhood.
Cute Kitty:
A black cat is a witch’s best friend! This not so scary pumpkin is super easy to carve!
Hungry Jack (o'-lantern):
Have you ever seen a pumpkin eating another pumpkin? Place a mini pumpkin into the carved out mouth of a bigger pumpkin!
Eyeball Pumpkin:
This one requires a bit of paint! Carve into a big pumpkin, and paint an eyeball on a smaller white pumpkin.
