2. Cut off the top of the pumpkin. Scoop out the insides.

3. Tape the copied monogram to the pumpkin surface. Lightly trace the monogram into the pumpkin's flesh. Remove the paper monogram.

4. Using a knife, carefully cut out the letter. To keep center parts suspended, such as the center of the R, insert several toothpicks around the piece and replace it securely in the pumpkin.

Note: Never leave a burning candle unattended or in the reach of children.
