How do you dry pumpkin seeds for crafts?
Before you start making pumpkin seed crafts, you’ll want to ensure your seeds are properly dried. Drying pumpkin seeds ensures they won’t mold or spoil and are easier to work with.
First, separate the seeds from the pumpkin flesh and rinse them in a colander to remove any excess pulp. Spread the seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet and let them dry completely. This can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on the humidity and temperature in your home.
Once the seeds are dry, you can store them in an airtight container until you’re ready to use them for crafts.
