Clean and Display Pumpkin

What happens here

Once all sections of your design have been cut out, gently remove any detached pumpkin pieces. Carefully inspect the newly carved edges for any rough spots, loose strings of pumpkin flesh, or template residue. Use a smaller carving tool or a paring knife to clean up these imperfections, smoothing the edges for a polished look. Finally, place a suitable light source, such as an LED candle, small battery-operated string lights, or a traditional tea light (with caution and supervision) inside the pumpkin to illuminate your design. Position your beautifully carved pumpkin in its desired location for a festive Halloween display.

Goal: Remove any loose pumpkin pieces, clean up the carved edges, and place a light source inside the pumpkin for an illuminated display.
