1. This is Brilliant! Cut the top and backside  for easier scraping.  This also makes it easier to put a candle inside!

2. Use a dry erase marker instead of a Sharpie....easier to fix those mistakes BEFORE you start carving!

3. Use a cookie cutter + a mallet

4. Trace a stencil with a nail or tack

5. LOVE THIS! Use glow sticks in place of candles (Get them for $1 at the Dollar tree!)

6. Make holes with a power drill

7. Use glow-in-the-dark paint + masking tape

8. Try fishnet stockings

9. Preserve with a coating of floor cleaner

10. Give them teeth!  OK, this is SUPER CUTE!  I can't wait to do this!

11. Havin' a party? Use It As a Punch Bowl!

12. Turn It Into a drink machine!

13. Skip pumpkins; go with milk jugs (these would look super cute on a tree with glow sticks inside!  SPOOKY!)
