This year I skipped pumpkin carving. Let’s face it, it’s messy, time consuming, and pumpkin goo makes my hands itchy. Instead I got some skinny masking tape, pressed a strip into each groove around my pumpkin, spray painted it, and removed the tape. The tape ripped off some of the paint with it, but I figure raggedy paint is appropriate for Halloween decorations. I think I prefer last year’s pumpkin, but this one should sufficiently welcome trick-or-treaters, and I love that I don’t have stinky orange slime under my fingernails!

What a fab idea! It looks smashing!
One of the woodworking mags I subscribe to had a photo spread on pumpkin carving with power tools. Talk about a mess! I like your pumpkin.
Looking good!
Absolutely lovely. I get what you are saying about the mess of pumpkin carving. However, it’s a big tradition at my house every year, so there’s no skipping it for me!
I do want to try the method you used on last year’s pumpkin. I like the glow you can get from just removing the top layer of pumpkin skin.
I love this! you are so inspiring!
what a cool idea! I like how it looks =D
it looks like there should be little mice pulling it through the streets :)
Totally! Haha!
