Okay, so, I wanted to make something different for Halloween this year. I saw all these goofy pumpkin carvings online, you know, those “Dumb Pumpkin” things. I thought, “Why not? Let’s give it a shot!” So, I went out and got myself a big ol’ pumpkin. Not those tiny ones, a proper, hefty one.
First, I drew a silly face on it with a marker. I wanted it to look really dumb, you know, with crossed eyes and a goofy grin. Then, I got my tools ready – a big knife for the top, a smaller one for the details, and a spoon for scooping out all the guts. I cut a lid around the stem, trying to make it neat, but hey, it’s a dumb pumpkin, it doesn’t need to be perfect.
Pulling out the insides was a bit messy, but kind of fun. It’s like digging for treasure, except the treasure is just more pumpkin guts. Once it was all clean inside, I started carving the face I drew. The eyes were the trickiest part, trying to make them look all wonky. I accidentally poked through the side once, but I just patched it up with a toothpick. No biggie.
After a while, I had my dumb pumpkin face carved out. It wasn’t pretty, but it sure was dumb! I popped a candle inside, lit it up, and put it on my porch. It looked hilarious in the dark, all lit up and goofy.
- Get a big pumpkin.
- Draw a dumb face.
- Cut a lid.
- Scoop out the insides.
- Carve the face.
- Add a candle.
Here are some key steps if you wanna try:
Honestly, it was a fun little project. And it’s pretty cheap, too! I think I spent around ten bucks on the pumpkin. If you’re looking for a silly, easy Halloween decoration, give the dumb pumpkin a try. It’s a good laugh, and hey, it’s something different from those same old spooky jack-o’-lanterns. I might even make a whole army of them next year. A dumb pumpkin army, how about that?
