The Not So Grim Reaper
Pumpkin Carving Stencil
Trolling through clipart galleries we came across an idea for a very cute little picture of the Grim Reaper. We loved the idea, so we set to work sketching our own rendition of this basic idea. He turned out looking kind of like a gingerbread man but perhaps not quite as sweet. This stencil should be easy enough for the younger ones in your family to help carve. Make sure you don't cut between the wall and the scythe, the thin quarterstaff probably won't hold up the blade on its own.
Scull and Crossbones
Jack o Lantern Design
What would a pumpkin carving website be if we didn't have our own version of some of the classics? Our version of the classic skull and crossbones design shouldn't be too difficult for someone with a steady hand. Be careful with the small bridges between the eyes the nose, and the sides of the head. If you make them too thin you may have to brace the design with a toothpick in order to hold up the facial features.
