Carved Pumpkins by a Tombstone

10. Carving pumpkins on gravestones

You can carve a skeleton on a pumpkin to create a creepy feeling in your front yard. First, you pick some pumpkins so they can form an arm combo. You can make it as skeleton hands emerge from graves. Next, prune the branches so that the other pumpkins can rest on top. Punch a hole in both pumpkins' bottom, remove the pulp, and slice with a knife.

Next, let's print out the bones and resize them to fit your pumpkin. According to the printed bone pattern, cut the stencils, stick the arm stencils to the bottom of the pumpkin with tape, and then use a marker to draw marks on the design. Repeat the process with the other pumpkins. Then remove the stencil and carefully use the X-Acto knife to start carving along the lines. Then, with the adhesive's help, the pin will work the votive candle on the base of each pumpkin.
