I love to make jack-o-lanterns at Halloween, but I really don’t like to do the carving with a knife, so it was amazing to find this really cool power drilled pumpkin video tutorial by HGTV Handmade, on YouTube because I would not have to use a knife, and that was cool with me! You will need a carving knife to cut a hole in the top, but that is all you will need a knife for. The other thing I absolutely love about this drilled pumpkin lantern is that it doesn’t look real Halloweenish, it looks great in your Fall display, and it can comfortably transition into Halloween.

Since I lover experiments, I’ve alwaysnloved to create, paint, as well as cook and style food. I feel in love with DIY as soon as I discovered it and could not have been more excited when I learned I could share projects with people around the world. Taking photos is a passion of mine, as is design and painting with oils. I love holidays and celebrations, crafting cute little gifts and serving up at least one new recipe I am excited about.
