Pumpkin Carving

A classic Halloween past time. Pumpkin carving is a great way to let your imagination run wild. If you struggle for ideas, refer to Pinterest images to be inspired. You could put a modern twist on an age-old tradition by painting your pumpkin, or even turning it into a vase! Remember, you can use your pumpkin pulp to make cakes. A great way to reduce waste!

One For The Kids

Recycle your old tin cans and turn them into decorations. Thoroughly check the cans for sharp edges before allowing children to decorate them. Paint an orange base layer, wait for it to dry and then simply paint on your eyes as though it is a pumpkin. There you have a spooky pumpkin-themed tealight holder. A sure-fire way to keep your children entertained.
