To begin, Erin chose a sophisticated white Lumina Pumpkin instead of the typical orange porch-dwellers.
After marking and cutting a lid in the top of the pumpkin, Erin scoops out the seeds into a separate bowl.
Next, Erin used a set of hand drills to punch different sizes of holes in the pumpkin wall.
Designed for wooden surfaces, the steel hand drills also worked well on a pumpkin.
After punching holes over the surface of the pumpkin, Erin turned a few of the stars into supernovas. She used a small knife to carve tiny star bursts around the edge of some of the largest holes.
Now that we have supernovas, why not add a few comets?
Set on a shelf, the pumpkin looks as pretty by day as it does at night.
