Carving pumpkins for Halloween is a classic fall tradition, but as many of us have found out the hard way, it isn't always easy. Large knives that slip when trying to slice through your pumpkin can sometimes make this traditiondangerous and hard for younger kids to join in. It also makes it hard to create the perfect design. Most just give up and create the generic Jack-O-Lantern face, while others try painting their pumpkin instead. That's where Dremel Rotary Tools come in!

How to Carve a Pumpkin Using Dremel Rotary Tools
