Description
A fun way to show off a favorite photo in a carved pumpkin!
What you'll need:
- a pumpkin
- pumpkin carving tools
- a favorite photo printed on copy paper
- push pins
- candle or led light
How to make it:
-
Print and cut
Print out a favorite photo on copy paper, not photo paper. If you have a photo editing tool, make the photo black and white or orange. Cut the photo out. -
Mark the size
Place your photo on your pumpkin and mark the corners so you know approximately how big to cut the hole in the pumpkin. -
Carve the pumpkin
Cut the top off of the pumpkin and clean it out as you normally would. Cut a square out of the pumpkin slightly smaller than your photo. -
Pin in place
Place your photo on the inside of the pumpkin and hold it in place with push pins around the edge. -
Finished
Now you have a photo pumpkin! -
Light it up
LED lights would be the best choice for lighting up your photo pumpkin as there is less risk of it catching fire. If you do use a candle, do not leave your photo pumpkin unattended.
