Halloween time?
Just like you can buy a pumpkin at the supermarket, you can make a pumpkin candle using a silicone mold like the ones at Jagsmolds. But the real fun of Halloween is carving your own special face into the pumpkin - no two are alike! This project allows you to carve a custom face into a pumpkin candle.

This candle is based on a balloon candle form, as was my ghost candle project. Follow the balloon candle instructions, adding some orange candle colorant to the wax before you dip.

Once you've assembled your own pumpkin patch, we're ready to go.
