21 Clever pumpkin carving ideas

September 12, 2012 By Jamie Dorobek 15 Comments

A year ago, I put this post together of 20 unique pumpkin ideas. It was the #1 viewed post on C.R.A.F.T. in 2011 (more on that here). I think y’all liked it ; ) So, I put together another pumpkin post  complete with 21 new, clever pumpkin carving ideas for Halloween. Carving, embroidery, drilling, and melting are just a few of the unique ways to spruce up a pumpkin for fall.

    I really like the fireplace pumpkins. That was beautiful. I also thought the lollipop pumpkin holder was a cute idea for the little ones to pick their lollipop.

    I really like #13, and even though they call them porcupines on Martha’s website, too, they really look more like hedgehogs to me. (Also, your link ends in a dead spot on their site, but this one seems to work) http://www.marthastewart.com/275573/pumpkin-carving-and-decorating-ideas/@center/276965/halloween#/268752
    Thanks for sharing all the fun ideas!
