A tip for those going to carve pumpkins this year, make your hole to scoop out the insides from the bottom. Not only will it look nicer but you can easily put it right on top of a candle instead of trying to balance it inside the pumpkin.

Ive managed the effort to do around 5 pumpkin carves in my life. I never, not once, thought about this.

Thanks, but damn.

Alternative idea, cut the hole in the side and use the stem as a nose.

cut the hole in the side

Not gonna lie I thought this was going a different direction after the recent furry threads.

note that this will speed up rotting on the bottom if it is exposed to water

to slow down rotting, spray all the cut edges and the inside with hairspray. let dry before lighting candle.
