With Halloween right around the corner, we couldn’t be more excited about the ways we’ve found to keep things spooky, fun, and safe this year. We reached into our creative minds to design a pumpkin carving that fit our 2020 mood. This pumpkin carving idea is simple, fun, and let’s face it- SO cute. The only addition you’ll need to make to your usual pumpkin-carving supply run is a small pumpkin that you want to build a home for. (Hey Google, add “baby pumpkin” to my shopping list).
Once you’ve found your baby pumpkin, put your pumpkin architect hat on! We added a chimney, some shrubbery, and an ADT yard sign (of course!). Feel free to design some funky windows, a little porch, or even more baby pumpkins! You truly cannot go wrong here.
When you’ve finished your Safe at Home Pumpkin House carving, we’d love to see it! Tag us on social media and use the hashtag #SafeAtHome. Have a Safe and Spooky Halloween!
