| �?nbsp; | Place the pumpkin on newspaper for easy cleanup. |
| �?nbsp; | Cut a circle around the stem of the pumpkin, using a knife with a long sturdy blade. (Making the cut at an angle will help keep the top from falling through when you place it back on.) |
| �?nbsp; | Don't toss the seeds! For a delicious snack, try our recipe for Roasted Pumpkin Seeds. |
| �?nbsp; | Before making that first cut of the jack-o'-lantern's face, study all sides of the pumpkin to find the smoothest side. |
| �?nbsp; | Draw the design on a piece of paper or print out one of our handy jack-o'-lantern carving stencils. |
| �?nbsp; | Tape the paper to the pumpkin, then score the design onto the pumpkin by punching through the paper into the pumpkin flesh with a large nail. |
| �?nbsp; | With a sharp serrated knife, cut out the design using the punched holes as a guide. Remove the cut-out pieces by pushing them out from the inside of the pumpkin. |
| �?nbsp; | The finished result is ready to be lit on that special, fun and spooky night! |
