Pumpkin Carving Tips

~ Rub Vaseline all over the outside of the pumpkins so they look prettier longer - trust me IT WORKS! 

~ Cut the lid at an angel so it doesn't fall into the pumpkin on your candle. 

~ Sprinkle Cinnamon inside of the pumpkin so when you put the candle inside it smells like pumpkin pie. 

~ Cut the bottom instead of the top - now I only SOMETIMES do this because my boys like cutting the top for some reason.

~ Also soak the pumpkin in cold water after cutting. It help keep moisture in the rind.
