Have you ever thought of carving something other than pumpkins during the month of October? As we searched the internet for unusual Halloween-themed activities, we came across an entire slew of pumpkin carving alternative ideas. From watermelon to zucchini, these carving ideas may just be your next perfect Halloween tradition. Try carving something new inside of your Arrive Perimeter apartment before the holiday passes!
Watermelon
Carving a watermelon instead of a pumpkin just makes sense. Similar to carving a pumpkin, the watermelon provides the perfect canvas for any spooky art design. One thing that we love about this summertime fruit is the transition of color: green to white to red; with a battery-operated tea light placed inside, you’ll be able to give a boost of creepiness to your creation. This Halloween, carve out a brain or a monster with a bloody appetite. Or, stretch your creativity even further and come up with your own creation!
Pineapple
The light inside of this Prickly Pineapple-O’-Lantern is incredibly fitting for Halloween. Just this one example gives us a bunch of ideas of how to make a great Halloween even better, not to mention a yummy snack on the side.
Apple
An apple-o’-lantern is almost like the shrunken head version of a jack-o’-lantern. Watch this YouTube video to see an example of how one is made.
Zucchini
Do you have an oversized zucchini? If so, this might be the perfect craft! From the link: “A Jack-O’-Lantern works best with an [oversized] zucchini. One that your hand can fit into, ideally – this makes it easier to carve out its guts. To hollow it out, cut off the top and carve around the circumference leaving about a quarter inch thick skin. Use a long metal spoon to scrape out the interior…”
