Apples are also a food we often associate with Halloween, and like the pumpkin, this could partially stem from the seasonality of the fruit, which peaks at this time of year. But the significance of apples is also deep-rooted in mythology and folklore. Celtic and Pagan tradition placed apples as powerful sources for divination and prophecy, and when the Roman’s came to Britain, they brought their own prophetic associations with the humble fruit. On the 1 st of November, the Romans celebrated a harvest festival dedicated to the goddess Pomona, goddess of plenty and abundance. Part of the festivities involved unmarried, young people attempting to bite into an apple floating in water or suspended from a string. The first to bite into the apple would be deemed next in line to marry. This tradition became embedded in Celtic festivals, like Samhain, and has naturally been adopted into Halloween celebrations. One of the colloquial names given to the 31 st October, in Britain at least, was ‘Snap-Apple Night’, deriving from this practice, and later developing into the modern Halloween game of ‘Bobbing-for-Apples’. Sweet treats for the dead The "belly" pumpkin received intersecting 1/2" slots, allowing it to slide down onto the plywood frame. Slots were short at first, gradually lengthened them with a paring knife until the entire pumpkin settled into place.

Simply print out the template and tape it to the pumpkin. Then use a sharp knife to cut along the outlines.

What Pumpkin Carving Tools Do You Need to Carve Pumpkins

First, you’ll need to gather your supplies. You’ll need pumpkins, of course, as well as carving tools, candles, and patterns. You may also want to have some newspaper or a drop cloth to protect your surfaces.A drill: A drill can be used to create holes in your pumpkin for eyes, mouths, or other designs. You can also use it to create texture on your pumpkin by drilling small holes all over the surface. First, be sure to use a sharp knife.
