As Halloween is fast approaching we thought it would really add to the aesthetic of Eleanor's house to have some beautiful carved pumpkins in the window. So here are some pro pumpkin pointers:
Start by making sure you have a nice pumpkin station set up. It's important to differentiate your average life from your pumpkin life
Next you need to cut a small section off the top as the lid - you will need sharp knives just don't cut yourself like Eleanor did #WhatATwat. Note: don't do this without an adult present as it is a very dangerous process
Then comes the (not) fun part gutting the pumpkin WARNING: this smells very bad and if you don't want to stink out your whole house then do it outside
#Yummy
Next you need to draw a design on your pumpkin, we chose to draw each other but #YouDoYou and draw what you like. We are art pros so if yours doesn't look as good as ours don't worry you'll get thereThen grab a smaller knife and start carving out the face
After you've done this you are pumpkin ready, just add a tealight and watch the Halloween magic unfurl
you could even take your pumpkins outside for an impromptu photo shoot
Maybe even take a few cheeky shots indoors
