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.

This is such a simple, but genius pumpkin carving idea! Best part? You don’t even waste the seeds!

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!
