1. Get a pumpkin. I buy mine at the grocery store, but you make like going to a pumpkin patch and picking yours.

2. Cut off what will be the lid. Be sure to cut it diagonally so when u put it back on it does not going through the hole you created, but rather rests on it. Carve out as much as you can from the inside and let the pumpkin dry a couple of days.

3. Print a stencil of the design of your choice. I used this template.

4. Tape the stencil onto the pumpkin and with a knife trace the stencil onto it.

5. Carve the pumpkin carefully.

6. Place a flameless candle inside.

7. Enjoy and take many pictures!

What will you carve this year?
