Things Needed
1. Melt the soy wax.
Fill a saucepan with water (about a quarter full), and bring to a gentle boil. Place the pitcher in the hot water and fill the pitcher with wax (about three-quarters full). Using the bamboo skewer, stir occasionally until the wax melts.

2. Cut the pumpkins.
Using a pairing knife, cut out the top of the pumpkin, around the stem. Do it just like you would if you were getting ready to carve a pumpkin for Halloween.
