Pumpkin Carving with a Disney Flair

Today, my family and I are going to carve a couple pumpkins! I love doing this, it is so much fun! Yes, part of it may be I love eating pumpkin seeds, but that's another story.  Being the Disney girl that I am, I naturally would love to carve something Disney into my pumpkin and being the complete non-artist that I am, there is no way I could freehand anything! So, like many people do, I turned to the internet for some help.

I was searching for Disney pumpkin carving stencils and came across quite a lot actually.  To be honest, almost anything could be carved into a pumpkin, any picture you find on the internet could be adapted, it is just knowing how.  Here is a big tip: when deciding to carve something, make sure there are places to connect the pieces together; meaning if you are going to carve out Jack Skellington's Face, do not start by carving a circle because then you have a "Holey Pumpkin". Yay for puns! Anyway, if you wanted to do Jack, you could use a pattern like this:





See how the pumpkin was used as the head and they carved in the features of his face? Gives the same effect.

I found lots of different Disney stencils for carving and I thought I would share some with you here, maybe it will give you an idea on what to carve! And if you have any ideas, please share them, I would love to hear more!!

Hope these were helpful with  your Pumpkin Carving Ideas! As far as what I am going to carve??....I am not sure yet! I will make sure to post a picture of my pumpkin on here for all to see though!

Happy Carving!!!
