Before carving your pumpkin, make sure you clean it thoroughly. Cut the pumpkin top and remove the pulp and seeds with a spoon. Be sure to scrape the inside walls of the pumpkin until they are smooth.
Transfer the Design

Carve the Pumpkin
Using a small carving knife, carefully cut along the lines of your design. Start from the center and then other details. Be sure to cut at an angle so that the pieces will stay in place and not fall out.
