Halloween is here and Bolt FM has some ideas.
Here are some tips and tricks to try this year.
Use basic tools: You don't need fancy tools; a spoon and knife will do
Choose an imperfect gourd: Imperfections can add character to your design
Open the pumpkin from the bottom: This makes it easier to place it over a light source and the lid won't fall in
Scoop out the insides: Clean the pumpkin thoroughly before carving some people use an electric hand mixer
Trace your design: Use a stencil or draw directly on the pumpkin markers work wonders
Be patient while carving: Take your time to create intricate designs have fun with it
Disinfect your pumpkin: Spray it with a bleach solution to prevent mold or use Vaseline on the cut areas
