  7. Use carving tools to cut out the face. Use a cloth to clean out the pumpkin and to get rid of any loose foam around the edges.

  9. Paint the inside of the pumpkin, but do not paint the very top inside. It will make it easier to attach the tea light, if you chose to do so. Allow to dry. Then paint the outside of the pumpkin and stem. Allow to dry, adding additional coats if needed.

  13. Optional Tea Light: Stick the loop side of a Velcro dot to the battery door on the tea light. Then stick the hook side to the loop side. Apply hot glue to the back of the hook piece and attach the tea light to the inside of the pumpkin. Hold firmly while glue dries. The Velcro allows you to easily turn the light on and off. Plus having the Velcro on the battery door allows you to move the door to a new tea light if necessary.
