Pumpkin Carving

Pumpkin Carving Design Ideas

Carving pumpkins is one of the few Halloween crafts that I get really excited about. It's fun, it's family-friendly, and it's a great way to play with artistic ideas. Here's a few I've come up with.

How To Carve A Pumpkin

Of course, a good carving starts with good tools and materials. For basic pumpkin carving instructions, check out this tutorial.

Indian Medallion Pumpkin

Inspired by Indian block print fabric, the medallion on this pumpkin is easy to carve freehand with just a linoleum cutter. As always, no pattern required.

Monogrammed Pumpkin

We monogram sheets and sweaters, why not pumpkins? Give Halloween a typographical twist and personalize a pumpkin for yourself or a friend with this easy, freehand technique.

Don't let your love of cottage style keep you from a fun Halloween. Just jump in with a cottage spin and enjoy!

Happy Halloween!
