The Deathstar

Choose the right sized pumpkin for your project and clean it well with soap and water. Dry the pumpkin very well to avoid any knife slips.

Set your mise en place before you make the first cut.

Cut the top off at an angle so the lid will not slip in on itself when you replace it later.

Clean out all the seeds, but save them. Roasting them in the oven with a mix of spicy or sweet seasonings makes a great fall treat.

Trace out the design and begin to make the first few cuts to mark out the remainder of the piece.

When you are shading, the thinner the wall the more light shines through. Be careful though, the thinner you make it the weaker the wall becomes.
