The last day to enter is October 31st, so let’s get creative! Not quite sure where to begin? Read our 5 tips and tricks to make your pumpkin carving experience the smoothest one possible:  Tips & Tricks:  1. Use an electric, handheld beater for easy removal of pumpkin guts after opening the top of the pumpkin - long gone are the days that your hands need to be unnecessarily dirty with pumpkin guts! 2. Draw your design with a dry-erase marker BEFORE cutting! Use a wet towel to wipe off any leftover marker after you have cut your design!  3. Use cookie cutters and a rubber mallet to create clean, easy shapes to add to your design!  4. Rub petroleum jelly on the carved portions of your pumpkin, to help seal in moisture to prolong any rotting on your pumpkin.  5. Add paint for added depth to your carving design!    ## Related Articles [![](https://blog.redpocket.com/hubfs/SIM%20card.jpg)](https://blog.redpocket.com/blog/sim-card) [Red Pocket Mobile](https://blog.redpocket.com/blog/tag/red-pocket-mobile) ### [What Is a SIM and How Do They Work?](https://blog.redpocket.com/blog/sim-card) If you’ve been wondering how your SIM card works (or don’t really understand what a SIM card is in the first place), worry no longer!  [Red Pocket Mobile](https://blog.redpocket.com/blog/author/red-pocket-mobile) [Read More](https://blog.redpocket.com/blog/sim-card) [![](https://blog.redpocket.com/hubfs/Blog%20Image%20-%20%20How%20To%20Activate%20A%20SIM%20Card%20-%20Main.jpg)](https://blog.redpocket.com/blog/how-to-activate-a-sim-card-activating-your-redpocket-sim-1) ### [How To Activate A SIM Card: Activating Your Red Pocket SIM](https://blog.redpocket.com/blog/how-to-activate-a-sim-card-activating-your-redpocket-sim-1) Activating a SIM card can often seem like a nightmare: all the instructions, steps, and codes!
