Orange is the New Black – Totally Fun and Creative Pumpkin Carving Ideas!

Pumpkin carving night it always much anticipated in our house. It typically goes something like this….. we go and pick out our pumpkins and everyone is super excited! We cut off the top and start gutting and cleaning out the pumpkins, and cleaning, and cleaning – after about 15 minutes the boys have lost interest in cleaning out the pumpkins and my husband, Adam, and I are left to the messy job. Finally we get them clean and the boys bring the intricate designs for Adam to conquer – which he usually does! Then it is my job to make the pumpkin seeds – which everyone says they want, no one ends up eating, and I end up finishing them off followed by a tummy ache.

We are always looking for ways to make the job easier AND to outdo our creations from the year before. I am excited to say that we have found THE BEST tool to clean out the pumpkin! Where in the world has this thing been?

Pumpkin Gutter!

We bought this last year and can attest that it is awesome!! We found it at a local store, but I found it online at William Sonoma – click here to purchase – totally recommend it…. we had the cleanest, best gutted pumpkin ever!!!
 
The next thing I have to share is THE BEST way to cut open a pumpkin – who knew there was any other option than cutting around the stem…. but wait, there is a better way – a WAY better way.
 

The Perfect Pumpkin Cut

SERIOUSLY, genius!!
You can easily get the candle or light in and out and it is much easier to gut!!!
