To ask what you're carving your pumpkins as?

[ConorMcGregorsChin]

Just that really. Have three weird shaped buggers looking at me on the bench right now. Feeling a bit blank and keep putting off. I've a tallish one that I'm going to do as a scream mask. Please share yoir ideas - and pics! just a nosey fucker really

Day of the Dead, a haunted house, and the Hogwarts crest.

This is the house

hoping to do something like this on one of them, by printing out a stencil and carving round it. on the other, the kids want to do a ghost so i'll get a template for that too.

And the Hogwarts crest - not as great as I hoped

@sleepismysuperpower1 it's REALLY hard to do the letters with a bit inside like A and O (I speak from bitter experience!). If you do go ahead make sure the wall of the pumpkin is very thin and you use a scalpel rather than a kitchen knife.

We’ve done four, a classic face, a face with a moustache and monocle, a skull and a ghost. This year I’ve discovered the joy of power tools when pumpkin carving. I used a drill with a beater attached to help clear the inside quickly, a regular drill bit to add details and a tiny chainsaw to cut the tops off and carve out the big pieces.

We have done a traditional pumpkin with a half smile/grin sort of thing (triangle eyes) 🎃
We’ve also done a cat silouette, a scary face and a ghost.

All quite simple to copy from Pinterest

Ghost isn’t finished when I took photo.

havelock thank you for the tips, i think i'll give it a try if i can find a scalpel.

If I will carve one, it will be Brexit.

We bought a carving kit which had a few pages of stencils, so we did a standard scary face, as the DC were carving.

Ooh some good ideas and great pics!
Bluths I've also used power tools in the past. Great fun. But also messy. If weather is decent tomorrow, I may do it in the garden.
Hooman How would a Brexit pumpkin look? apart from totally fucking miserable I wonder?

Craving I'm loving yours!

Havelock How long did it take you to do the Day of the Dead one?

How do you do the thing where you don't cut through the whole wall of the pumpkin, but just a little bit (so it creates shading)?

Meant to be the Cheshire cat.

Ours. We are not artistic. In our defence, it is MASSIVE.

Dps offerings so far the kids don't get a look in

Mycat Nicking that idea, thanks!

Edward Love it! We had a mammoth one a couple of years back. Couldn't lift it. Looked good sitting outside though! Love the ears

emma Your DP is very talented! Does he do commissions?

I have carved this one for me (and the little childebeest has asked for one vomiting the pumpkin innards):

Use a Stanley knife or screwdriver and cut almost all the way through the light will come through if u leave a tgin enough wall WhatsGoingOnEh

OHoly that's fab! I was thinking of doing similar with orange slime inards after watching This Morning last week. Then I realised it would just be one hell of a mess!

We've done the emoji version of Jason Vorhees (apparently) and a puking pumpkin
