When you think of Fall, you think of pumpkins and fun decorations, so after you pick your pumpkin up from the pumpkin patch or the store, start thinking of fun ways to carve it.
Be sure to carve out a good chunk of time out of your day, if you want to really work on your jack-o-lanterns because it takes some time to get the whole process done.
Most people just create a rendition of some sort of face, but if you want to really stand out, here are top 5 unique pumpkin carving ideas to try out.

You can put cute little Halloween symbols on it, carve the name into the teeth of the pumpkin or make a big letter of the first letter of your last or first name with the name in front of it. It will be something unique to you or your family and you can display it outside for all to see.
