Halloween is less than a week away and the spooky traditions have already begun.
Dressing up in creative costumes and stuffing your face with trick or treat chocolate is all part of the fun but we can all agree that pumpkin carving is clearly the best part of Halloween.
Sure, it’s the taking part that counts, but for some crafters, pumpkin carving is like an Olympic competition – a contest to see who can carve the most imaginative, Instagrammable pumpkin on the street.
National Pumpkin Day (October 26) is the creative precursor to Halloween and it’s the perfect opportunity to test out your slicing skills by prepping a world-class jack-o’-lantern.
