Break away from tradition this Halloween by integrating some humor and creativity into your pumpkin carvings. From golf-ball eyes to succulent witch hats, these unexpected jack-o'-lanterns are sure to spice up your seasonal porch decor; compliments of our friends at HGTV.
Even the largest pumpkins get hungry. Carve a sad or scared facial expression into a miniature pumpkin, place it in the mouth of a larger pumpkin and watch as the little one meets his fate.
What do monkeys and Halloween have in common? Absolutely nothing, but that doesn't mean you can't turn your pumpkin into a terrifying gorilla with extra-large teeth and a smoldering expression.
Cat lovers will appreciate this white-pumpkin cat carving. Replicate cats' stunning eyes by inserting marbles in the eye cutouts, while stiff plant stems work perfectly as whiskers. With very little carving, this animal is a wonderful idea for pumpkin-carving beginners.
Creepy crawlers and spiders are notable characters during Halloween festivities, so it only makes sense to create a friendly arachnid jack-o'-lantern. Extra-long black pipe cleaners pinned to the pumpkin create the look of fuzzy spider legs.
Enhance your garden or centerpiece setup with beautifully carved pumpkins in various shades and sizes. Floral-inspired carvings veer away from traditional Halloween style and can be used early into the fall season as an inspirational decorative element.
Halloween wouldn't be complete without a decrepit witch ready to cast spells with vengeance. A non-ripe pumpkin with a sickly green hue is perfect for the witch's face. The towering, cone-shaped succulent arrangement serves as the witch's black hat, while other greenery creates the straggly hair, rotten teeth and pointy nose.
Hope these creative Halloween Jack-o'-Lanterns will inspire you to start carving for the 31st too...
