I haven't carved out my pumpkin yet this year. I want to try something totally different. If you're looking for a unique way to carve your pumpkin this year, you've come to the right place!

1. Use cookie cutters--I was on Pinterest and came across this totally unique idea. A woman used cookie cutter shapes to decorate her pumpkin. All you need is cookie cutters, a mallet and probably a pumpkin carving kit to define the edges.

2. Use a drill--You can use different drill bits to create a collage of hole marks. Each hole should be a different size. You can create a unique design just by drilling holes. When a candle is placed in the center, the pumpkin design looks really neat!

3. Paint your pumpkin--Skip the whole messy guts part altogether. Grab some paint from your local craft store and make a neat design on the outside of your jack-o-lantern.

Do you have any other unique ideas for designing pumpkins?
