Pumpkin carving tips

by The 100 Companies

As thousands of pumpkins in patches across the country reach peak perfection, ‘tis the season for carving fabulous jack-o-lanterns. Keep these tips in mind when planning for your pre-Halloween fun:

CHOOSE your canvas carefully, focusing on a flat bottom and ample façade.

SKETCH your desired design in big, bold strokes.

OPEN from the bottom (not top!)

SAVE the seeds for a healthy snack.

LEAVE the knife cutting to the grown-ups!

SOAK your jack-o-lantern in a bleach-water solution to stave off mold and mildew.

CONSIDER painting your giant gourds, which is fun (and safe!) for folks of all ages and abilities.
