Solar-Powered Jack-o’-Lanterns:
Instead of using candles or traditional lights to light up your pumpkins, use solar-powered lights or LED lights powered by a solar panel. Not only is this a sustainable option, but it can also create a spooky effect.

2. Carve your pumpkin as you normally would.
3. Turn on your solar-powered light or LED light and place it inside the pumpkin.
4. Use duct tape or adhesive putty to secure the solar panel to the top of the pumpkin, so that it can collect sunlight during the day to power the light at night.
5. Display your solar-powered Jack-o’-lantern outside in a sunny spot during the day, so that it can charge up and be ready to light up at night.
