Beyond Pumpkins: 8 Fruits & Veggies You can Carve This Halloween

Halloween is just around the corner, and everyone is busy planning for the day. Carving Jack-o’-lanterns from pumpkins is a part of the tradition; however, people are now adopting a different trend. From Mason jar Jack-o’-lanterns and toilet paper pumpkin to wood, fabric, and paper pumpkins; you can find all sorts of examples of how people are replacing the classic decoration. There are a number of Halloween pumpkin alternatives, but if you still opt for carving, the following are some fruits and vegetables that you can carve instead of pumpkins to test your carving skills.

Follow the Pineapple Jack-O’-Lantern Trend

Take out your sharpest knife and start carving a Jack-o’-lantern face into a pineapple for the All Hallows’ Eve. The rough skin of pineapple in combination with greenish leaves enhances the creepy appearance.

Don’t Forget the Melons

The greenish hues of watermelons make them a perfect alternative to traditional pumpkin Jack-o’-lanterns. Add special fun to your party with watermelon carvings that are simultaneously decorative and a treat for guests.

Kick-Off Festivities with Halloween Satsuma Pumpkins

If you don’t want to indulge in the mess of carving pumpkins, then oranges make significant pumpkin alternatives. Simply paint spooky faces on them or cut out faces, stars and other designs to make cute little lanterns.

Go Back to Turnip-Carving

The first jack-o’-lantern was a turnip, and even today they are equally creepy. It’s certainly more challenging than carving a pumpkin, but a turnip jack-o’-lantern solves the same purpose, on a smaller scale.
