Mini pumpkins, carved out with just enough space to add a set of vampire fangs. These little vampire pumpkins are perfect for Halloween and are absolutely hilarious!
If you like these you'll LOVE our mini vampire donuts. Just as hilarious! You might also like our sock pumpkins. They take less than 10 minutes to make and are so fun for fall!
Watch our step by step video!
Who wouldn't want one of these little guys in their Halloween decor? 😉 I saw them on Martha Stewart and thought they were hilarious. We had to make some! We did ours a little different, but the concept is the same. So fun, so easy, and will keep you laughing all month long.

How To Make a Little Vampire Pumpkin
(scroll down to the bottom of the post for step by step images)
Step 1: Carve holes the same size as the little fangs. I used a paring knife, but a pumpkin carving knife is the only safe option if kids are helping.
Step 2: Scoop out pumpkins guts with a spoon.
Step 3: Decorate the little pumpkins with craft eyes or permanent markers. We used adhesive eyes, but craft eyes and hot glue would be a great alternative.
They are looking pretty festive on our front porch. How fun would this be on a teacher's desk in October or a windowsill?
Aaron practically ran to the bus this morning. He was excited to give Miss Jan one of the little vampire pumpkins that he made yesterday. He also brought one for his kindergarten teacher. He said that kids have brought her apples before and someone even brought her a peach. I told him that I don't think anyone has ever brought in a mini pumpkin with fangs....but I could be wrong.
