I love carving pumpkins!
Two Years ago I made a cat ...
... Last year I made Peppa Pig...
.... So this year i thought I would attempt something special!
After stumbling across this image on google...
...it had be Tinkerbell!
I bought my pumkins two days ago, in Tesco. I could only find small ones so I reluctantly chose two of the best looking ones. Of course, on my way out the door I spotted all the big ones! Oooops!
Nevermind!
So, I had all my pumpkin supplies...
(and yes that is glow in the dark paint in the picture,I was extra excited about using that)
First thing you do when carving a pumpkin is to cut off the top. Right?!
Wrong (in my case anyway)!
I decided to cut off the bottom
This wasn't, by an means, an accident. I'm pretty sure I've heard of doing it this way. Although, a google search didn't seem to show any evidence of this being a "thing".
Regardless of whether this is a "thing", or not - IT WORKS!
No more candles going out as you drop them into your pumpkin.
PERFECT!
I will be using this technique every year from now on!
Anyway, after emptying the guts...Yuck!
I printed off a Tinkerbell silhouette, cut it out and drew it onto my pumpkin
( So far so good)
Next, I went over the edges with a sharp tool
Then, started attacking it with a pumpkin saw
(this may have been where it all went wrong)
And my Tinkerbell pumpkin was...
.. a complete FAIL!!!!
Don't worry though ...
....I still had the glow in the dark paint!
"Just decorate the other side", I thought.
"It'll all be fine", I thought.
Em.....No!
