Pumpkin Carving for Halloween
Sunday, October 28, 2007
Well, we've picked out about a dozen pumpkins for Halloween carving and will probably get a few more to carve if we have time. We like to do intricate template pumpkin carving and unfortunately, these take ALOT of time to carve but are so beautiful when they are done. We picked up some new template books this year and might try an online store like SpookMaster that lets you download templates from a huge selection for a very low price.
I think we'll be lining our driveway from the road to the door, on either side, with carved pumpkins this year. That should make for a great entrance to our Halloween party, we'll pick a lot of spooky carvings to do. Then we'll have to have them all over the house as well. People are always amazed by how cool they look. It just takes a lot of work, a few people with patience and some big pumpkins!
Try Halloween Online's pumpkin carving section for new ideas in carving and new items to do it with. We found a battery powered saw for carving this year. While it didn't work well, it's a good idea. We may try using our electric meat carving knife that was given to use for Christmas a few years ago and went into the "closet of little used things". The ideas the same, just a bigger carving knife.
