Yes Halloween is here. Maybe you are yet to make your Jack-O’-Lanterns. Well here are some last minute tips. Before buying your pumpkin, have in mind the design you want to create and then go find the right size pumpkin to match. Choose a pumpkin that is uniformly orange, meaning it is ripe. Be sure there are no bruises, cuts, nicks, dents, gouges, or scratches. A smooth pumpkin is best for the use of stencils.
Never carry your pumpkin by the stem. It may break off and make it hard to get the top off when carving. If the pumpkin you like has no stem or it broke off, don’t despair. You can simply turn it over and carve the bottom out for the opening. Simply sit your Jack-O’-Lantern over the light source on the cleaned bottom piece of pumpkin. This works just as well and you will find that you don’t need the stem for a lid handle.
Now that your pumpkin is carved and that face is ready to be lit up, try the use of a soy votive candle. They are environmentally friendly and safe for your health use.
