My kids brought home huge pumpkins from the pumpkin patch this year and are intent on carving them soon. I think we should do something fun this year, but I’m not sure what yet. Since I have been looking for patterns, here is what I have come up with so far:
Fantasy Jr. has some very funny pumpkin carving patterns – including the Facebook Like button plus Hello Kitty and more.
The Pumpkin Wizard features patterns for carving presidential hopefuls and more than 150 other unique designs.
The Pumpkin Lady has a great assortment of patterns for free and a whole booklet of them for a small charge.
Better Homes & Gardens has a pumpkin stencil maker that lets you create a one of a kind original then print it out.
Find great stencils and tips at the Kraft site.
Family Fun has stencils and more decorating ideas for your jack-o-lantern.
eHow gives you even more fun stencils – some are so unique!
I love the spider web pattern at HGTV – they have a fun island pattern too.
