If you want a hollow pumpkin with a lid, continue on with the following steps. If you are using the mini pumpkins for a model or to display as whole pumpkins, just keep making more!
To Hollow Out A Paper Mache Pumpkin
Carefully cut away a pumpkin lid, using curved scissors (especially for tiny pumpkins) or a sharp craft knife. Cut the lid with a sharp notch on one side, so that it will be easier to reposition on top of your pumpkin. Don't worry about cutting into your pumpkin stuffing but try to avoid heavy cuts by staying as close to the paper mache surface as possible when you cut.
