The 'Nemo pumpkin' is brought to life using duck tape, vinyl, and toothpicks. For a sweet touch, an 'ice cream cone pumpkin' can be made using a real ice cream cone and a pumpkin. Amanda's 'very hungry pumpkin' involves placing a smaller pumpkin inside the mouth of a larger one.
Simpler designs include the 'sea glass smile pumpkin', carved with three simple triangles and a large mouth shape, then filled with sea glass as teeth. The 'toothy grin pumpkin' uses the stem as a nose and is carved on its side. For a more elaborate display, a 'pumpkin diorama' can be created by carving a scene into a pumpkin.
