A pumpkin village

Transform your pumpkins into little houses, and let the little ones fantasise about who might live inside. "With miniature accessories and a collection of pumpkins, an entire village can come to life," Clara smiles.

How to. Hollow out and carve a rectancle in the pumpkin, and then add a mini door.

Tiny visitors. Bring the village to life with a base of moss as well as miniature accessories, so the invisible inhabitants have something to occupy themselves with.

Create whimsical shapes with cutters

Make cutting a bit easier and less dangerous by using cutters and a hammer. "You can choose precisely the shape you desire," Anna reminds you.

Cookie cutters. With cookie cutters and a hammer, you can easily make lovely, cut-out shapes in the pumpkin.

How to. Carefully hammer the cookie cutter into the pumpkin.

Variety. By using different cookie cutters, you can create a lovely, varied pattern in the pumpkin.

Make an impression. Pumpkins decorated in different ways and displayed together will for sure impress both children and adults.

It is cosy decorating pumpkins in the company of friends and family.

Paint on your pumpkin

Med akrylmaling eller -tuscher kan De male hyggelige, eller uhyggelige, mønstre på Deres halloween-græskar. "Det forlænger tilmed holdbarheden at undlade at skære i græskaret," bemærker Clara.

Seasonal motifs. Paint little ghosts and pumpkin heads on the pumpkins with acrylic paint and acrylic markers.

Stylish. Using acrylic paint and acrylic markers, you can also achieve a more simple and stylish look. "Go ahead and use different kinds of pumpkins. There are so many lovely kinds," Anna says.

Raven. On the green pumpkin, the mysterious raven is waiting. The raven is painted with an acrylic marker.

Exterior motifs

To achieve more detailed patterns, you can use a lino cutting knife to carve into the outer layer of the pumpkin. "In fact, all sorts of tools can be used," Anna believes.

Artistic. Using a knife for linoleum cutting, you can make beautiful carvings on the surface of the pumpkin.

Pattern with a drill

Let the light shine through the pumpkin by drilling small holes. "Remember to hold the pumpkin steady so it does not roll while you are drilling," Clara notes.
