How to Make Your Halloween Pumpkin Last!

Pumpkins kept indoors don’t last very long and will mold easily. So if you get one this weekend, don’t leave it inside. Keep it in the garage or basement.

A carved pumpkin only lasts 3 days, so wait until at least Tuesday before you do your carving.

To get a cool template, you can look online for stencils or use pages from kid’s colouring books.

You don't need to spend tons of $$ on fancy tools, just a dollar store chisel and curved blade.

Once you have it carved, keep the lid of the pumpkin on a tilt, to allow it to breathe.

Instead of tea candles, try light bulbs. Just pop in a small light bulb, like Christmas lights, from a hole in the backside of the pumpkin. It’s safe, looks amazing in the dark, and won’t scorch the inside of the pumpkin.
