Step 1: Make a hole at the top. You can make a circle with a pencil beforehand or go freehand. First, make shallow cuts, it will help the knife get deeper on the second round.

Step 2: Once you have a hole on the top, start emptying the pumpkin innards. Make sure to get out every bit of fibrous strands, seeds, and pulps.

Step 3: Draw a scary Jack-o’-lantern pattern on the side of the pumpkin. Start by carving eyes, nose, and mouth with jaws. Make shallow cuts at the beginning, allowing your knife to stay on course.

Step 4: While carving, be careful of the knife slipping. Cut the carved chunks out of the gourds and clean any messy bits on it.

Step 5: The last thing you need to do is add lights inside and decorate your house with this scary pumpkin carving idea. You can create as many as you want and scare trick-or-treaters.
