Halloween is almost here, and one of the best festivities of this holiday season is carving pumpkins. Now, there is a lot of skill that goes into this, but it also requires patience. The premise of this activity is to have fun and be creative and not be stressed, so I am here to help inspire you to carve pumpkins this Halloween!
When I carve pumpkins I usually go for the classic “scary face” pumpkin. Usually with big triangular-shaped eyes, and a mouth that stretches from ear to ear riddled with pointy teeth. This is a simple design, but you can still be creative with it. You can have a nice-looking pumpkin with round eyes and squared teeth, or you could do what I did and create a scarier pumpkin.
I made mine more unique by only having top teeth, and by etching scars on its face that go from its eyes to the mouth.
The other pumpkin in this picture was made from a template sheet. If you couldn’t tell, it is a witch. The process of carving this into the pumpkin was fairly simple. All you had to do was pin the drawing into the pumpkin and trace around it with your sharp object.
These pumpkins were also carved using stencils, and they turned out great! It doesn’t matter if you imagine a carving in your head or use an inspiration sheet. Both ways look amazing, and they are simple to do. Even if you aren’t as skilled with art, you can create an individualistic pumpkin carving. I encourage everyone to take part in this seasonal activity and carve pumpkins!
