all I wanna say is thanks So much for the Many Great Years growing up as long as i can remember with my mom, Dad and grandparents, then buying your books from 1992-2006. I was born on 94 so from 98 what my mom and grandma's on both sides me loving gutting the pumpkin for the seeds for later to eat, and then when i got older to remember i loved carving and looking thru those books we have and still have some of those old books. Thanks for the Fun filled Carving years helped bring us together in those times, hope you stay around for my future kids to keep on the carving.
I remember the first year I used led instead of candle no one made them at that time just for this and everyone thought I was a genius … it allows for more fine carving because the heat from an actual candle would sometimes break the pumpkin in areas to thin wait till you get into using relief instead of cutting out , this year I am really thinking of doing one of the scenes from end game , between screen capture , photoshop and printers you can make ridiculous patterns
Awesome kit thanks for video. My wife and I make great memories with are kids carving pumpkins. We make a big thing out of it every year from going to the patch to bringing back their special picked pumpkins back home to carve.
...ive been carving since i was 5 now 26. i always used the drill to make the pattern on the pumpkin, take off the paper, and then carve the pumpkin. jeez that method looks so much easier and a time saver.
It does! It helps the paper not rip when cutting it! When I just taped the paper onto the pumpkin dry, the moisture from the pumpkin flesh caused some parts of the paper to get ragged and harder to carve make the outlines kinda ugly!
When the pumpkin shrivels up the top will cave in ruining the face and making the lid unusable. Also cutting from the bottom makes the pumpkin last longer since the pumpkin takes nutrients from the stem, it’ll make gutting faster since the guts are attached to the bottom, and it’ll make it easier and stress less putting a candle in since all you have to do is set the pumpkin on top of it.
Ive bought a couple kits o er the years, kept all the tools and they help tremendously. Some vary in size and comfort but i find it helpful to have different options. I buy new ones just for the book but it seems like the patterns are becoming more boring every year. Still a great investment if you carve pumpkins every year like we do
I have a pumpkin masters pattern book from 1998, and man, is it different from now. The old instructions said to put a candle in it, light it, and let the flame and smoke mark the top of it to cut open a chimney for it. Now, no one recommends candles lol. Also, I dont like the whole wetting it thing. It ruins the pattern, and you cant save it. I still ha e patterns from the late 90s and early 2000s because you just trace it or poke it into the pumpkin, so it's easy to reuse. Cutting through the pattern sounds like a struggle. And for everyone saying the blades break easily, we still have the blades that came with the 1998 set, so 🤷♀️ lmao
You are so right. Im still using the tools from when they first started. It was called CARVE-O-LANTERN pumpkin carving kit and had a comb(?) binding. The book could lay flat. I stopped carving for a few years & just started back. Still using the original set w/5 saws in it. Practically got a library of pattern books because...discounts😁. But I poke holes because it makes the sawing easier. Might try this method using A COPY of the pattern. Im not gonna tear up a book...no way!
Scan any pattern with a printer, transfer it as a png or jpeg on your phone or computer, and then print as many as you would like. If you want to be a savage then send the jpegs to friends, family, or random internet strangers so they can get the patterns for free. For carving I recommend that you use a thin and light printing paper instead of the regular printing paper to help apply the pattern on the pumpkin.
Oh no! We're sorry to hear that Emily. Be sure to use only gentle pressure with the saws. Use a back and forth sawing motion instead of applying force. Making sure your pumpkin wall is thinned is also keep to keeping your tools long lasting.
I've seen many other videos do this as well and can also run baby powder or flour over the holes when your done so that you can see your stencil easier.
Love carving Jack-O-lanterns 🎃 But I must disagree with the idea that people don’t like seeing a cut too on the pumpkin 🎃 I love using the top as part of the “hair” or “ears” along with the stem.
Regular printing paper is a little more thicker then the paper used in the Pumpkin Master’s pattern booklet. If you can then find printing paper that is thin and light. That may help with applying the pattern on a pumpkin.
If you don't gut the pumpkin and just paint the outside, it could last any number of days or weeks, depending on where you are, climate, moisture, bugs, squirrels, etc.
Hi Marakey! Make sure the wall of your pumpkin is thinned before starting the carving process. Its also best to let the saw do the work-- so with a gentle grip and only slight pressure, insert the saw then use a swift back and forth carving motion. No need for forceful pressure or to grasp the handle very tightly. The saw does all the work!
The tools never last. We always have to buy a new kit every year. I guess it’s about time to invest in actually carving tools and not cheap saws like these.
I put mine in the fridge in the morning. Before I put it outside at night I "prep" it. Rinse the inside w/cold water. Then put it outside using a votive candle on a piece of foil. Wet pumpkin wont catch on fire & the votive lasts 4+ hrs. If it's cold enuff outside the pumpkin should be good a month or more. But it is a biodegradable product & will eventually expire😢
I live in NE Florida and it can be hot in October. Put petroleum jelly (Vaseline) on all of the cut edges then put cling wrap across the entire cut design. I also put a piece of cling wrap loosely across the h top hole and replace the top. Place your JOL in the refrigerator until you use it again. (The cling wrap keeps the refrigerator from pulling out the moisture)
The method they show is a little weird to me. Ive never used water or plastic wrap. Tape is your friend. I also use a more time consuming method of imprinting the pattern in the pumpkin by outlining the pattern by poking holes with the pointed tool, this enables me to remove the paper pattern after. I dont advise this method if you dont have the time or patience
I use elmers spray to hold the pattern down remove with water after poking it and trace or just cover the dots with some pen or paint so much easer then tape or tacks.
Why do you not have these stencil laying instructions in the book? Instructions say to put scotch tape over the entire stencil and tape to pumpkin to make it waterproof which it does not. Now here youre soaking the stencil in water and wrapping with plastic wrap. Somethings not adding up.
The plastic wrap helps prevent the paper from ripping and/or being ragged due to either the moisture from the flesh of the pumpkin when carving the edges. Or when the paper has been wet from the water! Trust me, this helps your pumpkin carving masterpiece look great and neat!
Defeats...what purpose? The paper is the pattern. Sure, you can draw your own pattern on with a Sharpie, or just completely wing it and carve whatever comes to mind, but some people would like something fancier, and some folks who have never carved before, like a kid, want something simple to start out with.
Hi Fish Keeping! Can you tell us which kit you purchased? Our kits are built to withstand the pressure used while carving and sawing. To make sure your saws last, be sure to thin the wall of the pumpkin where you are going to place the design. When carving with the saw, be sure to let the saw do the work--no force is needed. Using gentle back and forth motions, saw along the pattern to achieve your design :)
@@OfficialPumpkinMasters if he paid 10.50 and it broke I would feel ripped off. Mine turned out great though. Instead of the new method with water and plastic wrap, I went old school and used the little punch tool and made holes 😀😎
No offense but of course your going to say something good about your product and you products plastic compared to that pumpkin one more thing you didn't say anything about the book so I didn't get it wasted my time and money but good video I guess

Some great tips on this. I’m 48yrs old and going to tackle my first ever pumpkin carving this week!
That’s awesome. Good luck

You're welcome! Hope you had a great Halloween!
You make this look so easy, lol.
I mean, we have been doing this a long time, Hence why we're the Pumpkin MASTER ;)

Hope you had a wonderful Halloween!
@@OfficialPumpkinMasters Thank you, I did! I hope you did as well!! 🎃🎃
That lady has strong arms and hands 💪
XD
No she saying but not doing anything a man is doing
This video is insane my dudes
That wet paper tip is genius!!
Right?! Pro Tip from the Masters!
It does! It helps the paper not rip when cutting it! When I just taped the paper onto the pumpkin dry, the moisture from the pumpkin flesh caused some parts of the paper to get ragged and harder to carve make the outlines kinda ugly!
That man had very defined forearms🙂 I think I'll carve one now!
Thanks!
Best pumpkin carving kit!
Thanks Helena! We appreciate you! Thanks for supporting Pumpkin Masters!
“Nobody likes to see the cut line from the top” honestly, have NEVER heard of that, I personally like the cut look.
Pickle Rick really?! I’m glad they gave this tip. It’ll look neater 😄
Christina H. Right, so your pumpkin looks more like one of those store bought plastic ones for $3
When the pumpkin shrivels up the top will cave in ruining the face and making the lid unusable.

Wetting it is such a good idea !!
The scraper is the real deal man clean up was wicked essy😊
I have that at home at its really good
Thanks Tippie! We appreciate your support! :)
so cool idea buddy
i’m doing like a really hard pumpkin carving with no experience…
like for the eyes it has 3 different thicknesses you need to cut…

You too!
This may be a silly question but why do you use the plastic wrap? To keep the paper on pumpkin? Thanks in advance 😊
Never seen a pumpkin cut open from the bottom..
The more ya know!
@@OfficialPumpkinMasters hi can we be friends
Me either
My mom cut it outta the bottom
th-cam.com/video/u5WVLSaRsIE/w-d-xo.html
I already bought a whole bunch of candles. Can I still use them to light the pumpkin?
Nice video
the little saws always bend and break
Oh no! We're sorry to hear that Emily. Be sure to use only gentle pressure with the saws. Use a back and forth sawing motion instead of applying force. Making sure your pumpkin wall is thinned is also keep to keeping your tools long lasting.
Emily Morris Where
Hi Katelyn! Did you have a question?
I love Halloween ☺
So do we!
I like Halloween 🎃 also I like pumpkins
I think I bought a pumpkin carving set from u guys
Tried to cut like that and i didn't work well. We poked holes all around the black parts, removed the stencil and carved away! It worked well!
I've seen many other videos do this as well and can also run baby powder or flour over the holes when your done so that you can see your stencil easier.
Love carving Jack-O-lanterns 🎃
But I must disagree with the idea that people don’t like seeing a cut too on the pumpkin 🎃 I love using the top as part of the “hair” or “ears”
along with the stem.
Just got it after seeing this commercial ;D
Awesome! Thanks for being a great customer!
What do we do to keep the pumpkin fresh?
Keep them moist. Rub petroleum jelly on the cut edges of your carving. You can also put the entire pumpkin in the fridge when not on display.
Never knew that! Thank you
Can you make more of these tutorials on the kits?
We definitely can! Are there certain kits you would like to see a tutorial on? Thanks for Subscribing!
Yes! The Party Kit
We can work on that! :) Thanks for your input :)
Happy Halloween 🎃
3:09 Will this help with a custom pattern on a piece of paper?
Regular printing paper is a little more thicker then the paper used in the Pumpkin Master’s pattern booklet.
If you can then find printing paper that is thin and light. That may help with applying the pattern on a pumpkin.
I had the headphones on full volume 😂😂
*RIP HEADPHONE USERS*
(Like meh)
Omg I have that kit
If somebody just paints the pumpkin how long will it last?
If you don't gut the pumpkin and just paint the outside, it could last any number of days or weeks, depending on where you are, climate, moisture, bugs, squirrels, etc.
I love carving pumpkin masters can you please bring me a pumpkin masters carving kit pumpkin maters?
Well damn.... I already cut the TOP off my pumpkin.....
Oof
😂😂😂
Guess you'll have to carve another! Oh well ;)
Tender Sheep oof
Same man
I want to know where she Buyed the set
That little saw always breaks

Should you thin out the side of the pumpkin that you are carving?
I do, it’s much easier to cut out the pieces.
The tools never last. We always have to buy a new kit every year. I guess it’s about time to invest in actually carving tools and not cheap saws like these.
No shit they cheap af
And it is never as easy as this dude makes it seem. Never.
@@n.u.k.2188 I mean clearly, he’s experienced.
@@ryanovercash9952 sure, I don't dispute that at all.
Who else is watching this after they cut the top off and took out all the guts 😄
Happy Halloween 🎃👻🍬
The only thing I disagree with is cutting the bottom out.
I always and will always cut the top off.
The vine gives you a natural handle.
I always have guts remaining. Too perfect
You don’t need a special carving kit last year I did a great carving with a steak knife
It’s safer then using a knife particularly with children involved.
I already did that
Then you're already ahead of the game! Great job!
I wonder wait till patern dries thick. Stick punk in better I never cut it when wet
how do you keep your pumpkin from rotting? I used this last year, a few weeks before Halloween and it started rotting a few days later
a mushroom do it a day or two before halloween
oh... Oof.
I put mine in the fridge in the morning. Before I put it outside at night I "prep" it. Rinse the inside w/cold water. Then put it outside using a votive candle on a piece of foil.

can you guys give me pumpkin carving lessons please
This kit messed my pumpkins up lol
I fr thought this lady was a robot voice until I looked at my phone 🤣
Send me a pumpkin carving kit like that with 5tools and 12 patterns.
😊
I've carved many a pumpkins. But never have my tools ever went in as easy as these guys. It's almost unnatural.
Thinning the walls of the pumpkin is paramount to ensure a great carving. Don't forget to do that ;) It makes the rest so much easier.
Theyre fast forwarding when he cuts so yes it looks easy lol
I can’t get rid of all the goop and strings
Remember to make a video of it
literally what ryland and morgan did
i used this last year and it’s horrible
REALLY?!?!
I’ve used it many times before.. what do you find so bad about it?
The method they show is a little weird to me. Ive never used water or plastic wrap. Tape is your friend.

No- ones cutting my bottom. MA 🇬🇧
Her voice sounds like the English dub of Squid Game
Don’t wet the patern and plastic wrap
Wow ,She has some manly arms.
The only reason I don't carve the bottom is because it just makes a big mess and it's hard to see through the pumpkin
Hi Monica! What kinds of messes are you having with carving the bottom? And we're not sure what you mean by "it's hard to see through the pumpkin."
