Easiest Way to make a jack-o-lantern

October 9, 2016 By houseofhargrove@gmail.com

My kiddos love making jack-o-lanterns each year.  It is a super fun family evening!  We carve them, eat a spooky dinner and then watch a Halloween movie!  While the kiddos love it my hubby gets stuck with the actual carving and that part is not always the most enjoyable!  This year I am so so excited to have discovered Pumpkin Punches.  It is by far the easiest way to make a jack-o-lantern.

Pumpkin Punches comes with 31 different facial features so you can mix and match and create the exact look you want.

Here are the 2 designs we picked for our pumpkins!

Then it is super easy…clean out your pumpkin like normal, then arrange the metal pieces (kinda like cookie cutters) on the pumpkin and use a rubber mallet to push them through the pumpkin.

Braden wanted to help too!

 It was quick, easy and my daughter loved that she could do it too.  Typically she just watches Daddy carve the pumpkins, but this year she got to help and she thought it was the best!  The faces are so clean and precise.  Then you just wash the punches and they can be used year after year!

Here are our jack-o-lanterns!  They are by far the best ones we have ever had!

We all had so much fun that we want to invite friends over and have a “Pumpkin Punches Carving” party!  This is such a fun activity for the kiddos and they truly feel a part of it since they did the work!  I am excited to try a bunch of different faces!  Our pumpkins have pretty much looked the same year after year because they were the easiest faces to carve.  This year we can be way more creative!  I highly recommend getting Pumpkin Punches for your family for years of fun.  Your husband will thank you as well (if he is the usual carver)!

Love to see what designs you come up with!  If you share on Instagram use #pumpkinpunches so we can see your beautiful work!

Thank you Pumpkin Punches for sending me the product to try.  All opinions here are my own.  I only share product that I truly love and personally use with my readers!

✨REMODEL UPDATE: GAME ROOM + MUDROOM ✨

This space received a cosmetic refresh, but the biggest improvement was making it more functional. Since this room is located just off the garage entry, we transformed an underutilized wall into a custom mudroom with built-ins for backpacks, shoes, sports gear, and everyday essentials. Before, there was no designated drop zone and I truly believe every home needs one. Now this space is both beautiful & functional.

For the cosmetic updates, we:
•Replaced the tile and carried the hardwood flooring throughout
•Painted the walls a warm, cozy color
•Removed the farmhouse barn doors and installed timeless French doors
•Furnished the room with Facebook Marketplace finds
•Added a vintage dog gallery wall 

Now it’s the perfect spot for the kids to hang out, do homework, watch TV, and drop all their daily essentials when they walk in the door.

✨REMODEL UPDATE: POWDER BATH✨

This bath got a huge cosmetic update & reconfiguration.
It had a very awkward angle in the corner that kind of threw off the space. We disguised it with custom cabinetry and a faux panel. This added useful storage, design & now you’d never know there was a strange angle. 

🤎comment SHOP for sources

Some fun wallpaper, paint, counter details, hardware & sconces finished off this great space.

Now functional & beautiful.

How many cats does it take to officially be a cat lady…asking for a friend 😹

Meet Kaya & Strawberry our newest foster kitties! They are only with us two weeks, but we are soaking in every minute of their cuteness. Our first round of fostering failed… hence the newest member of the family Callie, but it was the best failure ever. ❤️
