Pumpkin Carving on Halloween

Posted by sab | Filed under Crafting, Travel

I went down to Dunsborough this weekend with friends. Celine was awesome and bought pumpkins for us to carve as well as a sheet to put on the table, carving utensils and patterns. The pumpkins were literally hard to carve and took a long time to scrape out to an acceptable one inch width for carving. We all wondered how people in the US did this on a regular basis, but had fun along the way regardless :)

Here is the custom design that my partner in crime helped me to carve out using corn cob stabby things, a cheap knife and a miniature saw from the pumpkin carving kit.

Quickly testing out how it would look with a light inside.

With a candle inside the pumpkin.

We used 1.5 kg of pumpkin to make pumpkin soup for dinner: there were twelve of us.

Here’s a pumpkin carved by Kien, Sena is sitting in the background with his creation.

Everyone’s pumpkins were still there in the morning!

Hope you guys had a fun Halloween last weekend too!
