Things You'll Need:
- Time to browse through the pumpkins.
-
Step 1
Decide before buying your pumpkins what designs you will be carving into them. You also need to decide just how many pumpkins you need and where you plan to place them in and around your house. This will help you create a mental plan of how many and what size pumpkins you will need.
-
Step 2
Select pumpkins that are uniformly orange meaning that are ripe, have no bruises, cuts or nicks. Select pumpkins that are close to the size and shapes you'll need for your decorating plans. It should be as smooth as possible, and free of scratches, dents or gouges.
-
Step 3
Never carry a pumpkin by its stem; it may break. Care should be taken not to bruise during transport or storage, as this will shorten their life-span.
