Today I 'm going to show you some of my favorite Halloween Pumpkin tips.

And we 're going to start with teeth or fangs.

So take your pumpkin and draw on a design.

Hollow it out and carve out the face.

You can see I 've cut out a nice big hole for the mouth.

Next we 're going to take the off cut from the mouth

and using a sharp knife, carefully cut out fangs, like this.

Next we need to take our fangs, and push a cocktail stick in the end.

Snap the end off so its a bit shorter, and we should have something which looks like this.

And finally start arranging the fangs in the mouth.

Pretty cool!

A slightly different way to do teeth is cut them into the pumpkin

as you 're carving out the face.

Then using a sharp knife, carefully peel underneath the skin and peel it off.

Go around all the teeth and you should have something which looks like this.

Next we 're going to look at using the pumpkin 's stem for a nose.

So take your pumpkin, turn it on its side, and draw on a face.

Then turn your pumpkin around, and cut open a lid at the back.

Hollow it out, and then we can start to carve the face.

For this one we 're going to cut the skin around the eyes, and carefully peel it off.

It should look like this.

Then cut out the mouth, and using the same technique,

peel off the skin in front of the teeth.

Next we 're going to carve out each tooth, until you have something which looks like this.

Then using some black acrylic paint, we 're going to paint in the eyes.

Good looking fellow, isn't he?

Now for something a little different.

Take the pumpkin, cut off the top and hollow it out.

Then using a hand drill, we 're going to drill a series of holes,

in no particular pattern, around the entire pumpkin.

Don't forget to do the lid.

Clean it up and it should look like this.

Next take a piece of wire, this was an old coat hanger

and hook it into one of the holes in the pumpkin.

Loop it around to the other side, and thread it through a hole opposite.

Take the lid off and make sure the wire is bent around so the pumpkin won't fall off.

We now have a hanging pumpkin lantern!

Put some candles inside, dim the lights, and you've got your very own pumpkin mirror ball!

And finally take an orange ping pong ball,

and using a black or red marker pen, draw on a pumpkin face.

Then use a pencil to draw lines all the way around the ball

to give it a pumpkin effect, like this.

Now we 're going to make it light up using an LED keyring.

First open up the keyring, and take out the LED and batteries.

Then tape the LED to the batteries like this and bend the LED so it's upright.

Next using a screwdriver, we 're going to carefully poke a hole

into the bottom of the ping pong ball.

And finally, sit the ball onto the LED.

Dim the lights and we can have our own little army of ping pong Pumpkins!

You don't need to use a knife, and it's a great one to do with children.
