Creative Pumpkin Carving Idea with Free Pattern #1: Gun Shot Wound
- Poke the eyes and mouth of this pumpkin carving pattern. Do not poke the features on the sides; these features are only there to serve as a general guide.
- Carve the eyes and mouth of the gun shot wound pumpkin first. Then turn the pumpkin clockwise. Carve a hole with jagged edges as shown on the right side of the gun shot wound pumpkin carving pattern.
- Find a plastic toy gun and carve a hole on the other side of the pumpkin that is just large enough to fit the muzzle. It’s important not to make the hole too large, because the gun must fit tightly to stay in place.
- Mix some light corn syrup with some red food coloring and set it aside.
- Set the carved pumpkin where it will be displayed on Halloween. Place the seeds and pulp from the inside of the pumpkin and inside the jagged hole on the side, then allow it to spill out onto the ground.
- Drizzle some of the red corn syrup mixture on the pulp to mimic the appearance of blood.
Pumpkin Carving Patterns
Material:
- A pumpkin
- Three tools: poker, drill, saw
- Paper pattern: make one or print their pattern
- Tape
- A candle
Instructions:
- Cut an opening in the top or bottom of a pumpkin: Make the hole big enough so that you can clean out the pumpkin easily. Save the piece you cut out to use as a lid.
- Clean and scrape the inside: The pumpkin wall you will carve should be no more than one inch thick.
- Cut out the pattern or make your own out of a piece of paper: Trim the pattern and tape it to the pumpkin. It may be necessary to make small folds to fit the paper smoothly.
- Transfer the design: Using the poker, poke through the paper making dots along each outline on the pattern. Then remove the pattern. (Save it and refer to it while you are carving)
- Drill the holes: Hold the pumpkin in your lap and twist the drill into each hole made by the poker in step 4. Turn the drill gently until it pierces the pumpkin’s skin.
- Start sawing: Grasp the saw like a pencil and move it steadily up and down, working from dot to dot. Always hold the saw at a right angle to the pumpkin.
- Cut a chimney: Light a candle inside the pumpkin, then close the lid. Quickly put out the flame and look for the blackened spot inside the lid. Cut a small hole there; it will let the smoke and heat escape while a candle glows inside.
