My favorite part of seeing back to school supplies out in stores is knowing that Halloween stuff is next! Ha! Who is with me? This list of unique pumpkin carving ideas has something for everyone including a pumpkin with braces and even Nemo. Check out these 20 creative pumpkin carving ideas and other fun ways to decorate pumpkins this Halloween.
Funny Pumpkin Carving Ideas
1. Hungry pumpkin
Amanda carved this very hungry pumpkin! Simply carve a scary face into a large orange pumpkin. Then, add a smaller pumpkin inside of the larger pumpkins mouth. Be sure to use the smaller pumpkins stem as the nose so that it will fit inside the mouth of the larger pumpkin.
2. Puking Pumpkin
3. Eyeball pumpkin
Bee Moon Sketches created this amazing eyeball pumpkin by carving a large oval in the orange pumpkin. Next, paint an eyeball on a white pumpkin and place it inside the orange pumpkin. So clever!
4. Nerdy Pumpkin
The nerdy pumpkin takes some serious carving skills, but it’s worth it! It doesn’t get much better than a pumpkin with braces and glasses.
5. Toothy grin pumpkin
Turn the pumpkin on its side and use the stem as a nose! This pumpkin is creepy perfection. (Picture found via Curious Bird.)
6. Pumpkin hamburger
7. Man eating pumpkin
8. Hungry pumpkin
Here’s another version of a hungry pumpkin!

These are great! I also wanted to share how my sister repurposed the pumpkins after Halloween into Christmas decorations: http://club.chicacircle.com/holiday-pumpkins-re-purposed/
That is so creative! Thanks for sharing!
I thought they were all cute. Wish I’d made them but the one that made me LOL was the puke one. I know I’ sick, but what can I say. Funny is funny.
I love the leg eating one!

The leg eating Pumpkin – Very Halloween ! and very inspiring, thank You !!!
The hamburger, the honey bear and the man-eating pumpkins were my favorites but they were all interesting and inspired.
Thanks for the really cool ideas! I think that I will make several of these, starting with the hamburger.
Great post! These are great.
The man-eating pumpkin is funny! Will pass this post on to some others.
LOVE all of these! Nice blog!
These were fantastic. I think this is the first time stumbleupon has given me anything cool.
I think a half eaten child in a possessed pumpkin should do the 'trick'. Great stuff.
Totally choice! I really enjoyed your selection of pumpkin ideas. Thanks!
This really got my in the Halloween spirit- thanks!
They're all fabulous! I think the one I'm most likely to do is the Toothy Grin. So cool.
I pinned some of these on my pinterest board! http://pinterest.com/dittdott/neat-ideas/
Love them! I'm hoping to do some cool ones this year!
You know leaching images and not hosting them from your own site is really rude. It eats up other people's bandwidth and makes you look like an idiot, especially when you have a "bandwidth exceeded" post from photobucket.
definitely man eating leg!
good collection, although 1 and 2 have both been around the block a dozen times.
I LOVE the chalkboard one! I love all things chalkboard 😉
Such fun ideas!
xo
I think the man eating pumpkin is fun but I don't think I'd make that one. Maybe the spooky fancy one – dressed up just a bit.
I am totally doing the doily pumpkin!
awesome ideas Jamie! Thanks for the pumpkin inspiration.
These are awesome!
these really are awsome they look great i wish that i was that creative:)
Ha ha,…they are all awesome. I love the henna,..so pretty.
