Pumpkin Carving FAQs

New to pumpkin carving—or just need a quick refresher? We consulted Jennifer Dubord, a professional sculptor, illustrator, and seasoned pumpkin carver with over 25 years of experience—to share tried-and-true tips for stunning results.

What tools do you use to carve?

Jennifer recommends a V-notch wood carving tool for precise outlining, a retractable utility knife for controlled cuts, and a paring knife for finer details. For safety—especially with kids or beginners—a serrated pumpkin carving kit is an excellent alternative to razor-sharp blades.

What are the dos and don’ts of pumpkin carving?

  • Do take your time and sketch or trace your design before cutting.
  • Do choose the smoothest, flattest side of the pumpkin as your canvas.
  • Don’t rush—precision beats speed every time.

What tips do you have for carving these ‘Hocus Pocus’ designs?

  • Start by outlining your stencil with a V-notch tool—cut only through the outer skin first to define clean edges.
  • Carve smaller details (like eyes, letters, or facial features) before tackling larger open areas—this helps preserve the pumpkin’s structural integrity.
  • Make all full-thickness cuts before removing shallow layers. To maximize light transmission through skin-only cuts, gently scrape away pulp from the inside until the wall is thin and translucent.

How do you illuminate carved pumpkins?

Illumination depends on your design:

  • For pumpkins with many open cutouts: Use flameless LED tea lights—they’re safe, flicker realistically, and cast a soft, spooky glow.
  • For skin-only etchings (like “I Put a Spell on You”): Opt for brighter battery-operated string lights or even a small flashlight placed inside for dramatic backlighting.
  • For low-light designs: Arrange a few tea lights around the base outside the pumpkin to create ambient side lighting and highlight texture.

How do you make pumpkins last longer?

To extend your pumpkin’s shelf life and keep it looking fresh through Halloween weekend:

  • Scrape out all seeds and stringy pulp thoroughly—moisture invites mold.
  • Soak the cleaned pumpkin for 30 minutes in a solution of 1 tablespoon bleach per 1 gallon of water.
  • Air-dry completely before displaying.
