i wanted to carve a pumpkin with my son for halloween... has anyone some cute templates to share??? it should not be too spooky lool cause my little one will be afraid of it haha
Here are some links for you Julia http://www.ehow.com/halloween/templates.html http://www.rd.com/home-garden/12-free-printable-pumpkin-carving-stencils/article100924.html http://blogs.babble.com/strollerderby/2010/10/10/pumpkin-carving-stencils/ This is just a few...there are so many, but there is some good info in here! I've used templates before and it's pretty cool!
rebecca lool if i do that, the pumpkin will look like an owl haha debraaaaa!!!! thanks so much sweetie... this is expactly what i`m looking for
i am horrible at carving LOL i might need to check out patterns myself my son wants a swiper the fox pumpkin and im like uh ok LOL
Martha Stewart has some super cute ones...all the printable templates are there as well. I have to admit that I pretty much suck at the carving part and my youngest DD gets so frustrated with not being able to do it herself, so this year, I ordered some faces for her to put on the pumpkins. They're from Hearthsong.
Carly lool OMG good luck with that... i`m happy my son doesn`t have any wishes until now haha Colleen what is a pattern book??? Andrea, thanks so much...i`ll check that page now Debra thats not the pumpkin i did lool i just found it on a page from your links but... lool now pattern for this one... but i think i`ll give it a try anyway... cause i really love that one Laura gosh i love that faces... i have to check if they deliver to germany... that would be so so perfect for DS I think just because of halloween i`ll move to the states one day
Definitely come visit some Halloween Julia! A lot of families here now take their kids to the shopping mall for trick or treating. It is SO much fun seeing all the kids dressed up, and a lot of the parents dress up too. All the merchants have candy for the kids, so they trick or treat there instead of going house to house. Much safer and lots of fun! Well, I thought you carved that one and I was pretty impressed!! If you can use a long very thin knife, that is the best type to use for carving pumpkins. There are books that have patterns similar to the ones in the links I sent you. You tape them on your pumpkin and poke holes in it to mark where you are going to cut. You don't really need a pattern book. You can find plenty online. Have fun!!!
i guess ill have to take pictures of my pumkin disaster this year so you all can laugh LMAO!!! happens every year
this is one we did for a contest... it won an honorable mention because it rotted out before they judged the contest... it's a bird cage. A raven is sitting on a perch that is attached to a clock motor so it moved back and forth. It was pretty cool. Just not enough staying power.
Debra i`ll do that for sure... one day lool i`d really love and my son will have a blast Carly: Pictures please haha Colleen... that looks helpful lool but no way to find stuff like that in germany Andrea: wooow this is amazing!!! really cool well ladies we did one today lool after the disaster that i couldn`t find any big pumpkin here and suddenly i ended up with a stupid one lool (did i say i hate this country) but here it is... and my little one is happy... but i`ll see to get another one done next week i did the pattern by myself btw.. from the picture of the pumpkin in the first post and with photoshop
