Make your pumpkin the best on the block with these ideas for out-of-the-box carvings from Casa Sugar. You can take the classic triangle eyes and spooky mouth in an entirely new direction, with patterns as simple as cut-out number to identity your house for trick-or-treaters and as complicated as lace-patterned cutouts done freehand.
Some of our other favorite ideas:
--Use tiny white bulbs to outline a moon, bat, or cat shape and plug in the strand to an outdoor outlet or battery for a candle-less light.
--Print out a template and give your pumpkin the face of your favorite pup.
--For a sophisticated centerpiece, paint a chic silhouette on a light-colored pumpkin and surround with fall foliage.
--Skip the large pumpkin, and instead group a collection of smaller ones for a space-saving porch decoration.
