Honeycomb Pumpkins

This buzz worthy gathering of petite pumpkins is sweet as can be. The honeycomb works best on firm pumpkins that will hold their shape despite the intricate carvings. Avoid enlarging this design to fit your squash—the less intact the flesh is, the more delicate the pumpkin will become. For a more durable comb, use the etching technique to remove skin but keep the flesh, like the bee shapes. Unetched details like the bee stripes add contrast.

Trick-or-treaters will feel like someone is watching them with these slightly spooky pumpkins.

For the big-eye look, paint the iris on a smaller white pumpkin to tuck inside the orange one. Get a ghoulish gaze by outlining the iris with black and filling in with strokes of both blue and green. Add the lashes with paint or black crafts wire. Be careful not to poke lashes too close or through the cut edge around the eye.
