Pumpkin Carving

A quick pumpkin carving video made this last Halloween. This video covers basics on how to apply a design and get started peeling the skin away instead of traditionally carving the pumpkin. Here are the materials we used:

  • Pumpkin
  • Pumpkin scoop
  • Newspaper
  • Markers
  • Kitchen knife
  • Hobby knife
  • Reference image
  • Paper towels
  • Candle

Cogdill Concepts hopes everyone had a safe and fun Halloween! Thanks for watching!
