My kids wanted to carve pumpkins tonight. I thought I would do something a little different. I admit it isn' t my best work but the wife and kids were impressed. Not too bad for a hack like me. Nothing you cant do with an Stanley knife in a couple of hours.

Easy way to make a pattern on a pumpkin.
1. Print the picture on your printer. Try to make it simple. Too much detail and you will go nuts trying to carve it.
2. Tape the paper to the pumpkin.
3. Use a pin or tack to poke through the paper into the pumpkin. This give you a pretty easy outline to follow. The rest is just slow carving work. Stanley knife works pretty well. Dremel makes pumpkin fling all over. Makes wife made too. Much faster though.

That is sweet. It looks like you crossed over the cuts? But that would leave a piece hanging, and can' t be done. How does it look like that? Do you see what I am talking about?

Good job on that [:-]
I was thinking about making carving a bowhunter on one but i guess its alittle late now. Besides, i am going quail hunting in about 4 hours!
