15. The Cozy Autumn Leaf Lantern
Celebrate the natural beauty of the season with a warm, inviting design. Press real maple and oak leaves onto the surface of your pumpkin and trace their outlines. Use a carving tool to shave away the outer skin within the outlines, leaving a thin layer of pumpkin flesh. When lit, the pumpkin glows with a warm, amber light, showcasing the intricate veins and beautiful shapes of the autumn leaves.
