How to Preserve a Carved Pumpkin with 3 Household Items!

Ingredients

  • Carved Pumpkin
  • Bleach
  • Water
  • Bucket

Instructions

  1. Place your carved pumpkin gently inside the bucket.
  2. Pour 2/3 cup bleach into the bucket, then fill bucket with enough water to submerge the pumpkin. Place the jack-o-lantern lid in there too! Let soak for 24 hours.
  3. Remove pumpkin and discard water.
  4. Set the pumpkin out to dry, then it is ready to grace the scariest of haunted houses!
