Halloween is just around the corner, and pumpkins are waiting for carving. It’s tradition. Every year, we all get a pumpkin and our favorite knife, and scoop those pumpkin guts out, then butcher a crude face into the side, perfect for a little Halloween ambiance.But, whoa, Nelly. Pumpkin carving ain’t what it used to be! Sure, you’ll still see the happy pumpkin faces with triangle eyes, but why stop there? Look around, and you’ll find witches, ghosts and all manner of scary creatures carved in amazing detail on Halloween.
Thanks to the folks at Pumpkin Masters, anyone can carve their own amazing pumpkin designs. Patterns, tools and step-by-step instructions make those normal pumpkin faces passé. They’ll help you carve words into your pumpkin, haunting figures, or even images on the back of your pumpkin that will cast shadows on a wall!
Your kids want to carve too? Not a problem! Pumpkin Masters makes tools just for them. Special carving knives that won’t cut fingers, creepy arms, hands and faces to stick into a pumpkin, or paint and jewels to decorate with. Or, a few cookie cutters and a mallet will let older kids carve their own pumpkins however they wish with ease.
But wait, you say, why should I spend so much time on a pumpkin only to have it rot a few days later? Never fear! Thanks to modern technology, you can now buy fake pumpkins! Yup, that’s right. Carve them once, use them year after year. Special carving knives make these pumpkins the perfect solution. Just don’t stick a candle inside, or your work may go up in flames.
Of course, if you live next door to Martha Stewart then even a spooky pumpkin is going to pale in comparison. If you really want to go all out, check out the Pumpkin Gutter and really get blown away. Or really live on the edge and set your pumpkin on fire. Just make sure you’ve got a fire extinguisher handy for that one.
And now that you’re in the mood to carve, go play!
