Amanda's 'very hungry pumpkin' is a clever take on the classic storybook character, with a smaller pumpkin placed inside the mouth of a larger one. For those with a knack for storytelling, the 'pumpkin diorama' offers endless possibilities, creating entire scenes inside a carved pumpkin.

The 'toothy grin pumpkin' is a simple yet effective design, using the stem as a nose and carving the pumpkin on its side. For a more challenging project, the 'nerdy pumpkin' with braces and glasses requires serious carving skills. Inspired by Mo Willems' characters, the 'piggie and elephant pumpkins' design uses cardboard, spray paint, and a hot glue gun to bring these beloved friends to life. Lastly, the 'ice cream cone pumpkin' can be made using a template found on Amazon, offering a sweet and festive touch.
