Want a Cute Pug Pumpkin trace? Save the black and white image below to your computer. Pull it back up and print it out on regular 8.5x11" paper (you can do this in word too!) | Trace the black sections with a pin on the pumpkin (taping the paper onto the pumpkin works the best). Then carve the isolated areas out. You should end up with an image close to this one! Good luck!! |
FrankenPug! Here is another option, just follow the same instructions for this guy! | For those of you that are more...adventurous, try this one! To start out, try using some carbon paper or tracing the design using a small pin (quilt pin or corsage pin) and trace image onto pumpkin. Remember to tape the paper on the pumpkin so it doesn't move around on ya! If you try it...send me a picture. I would LOVE to see what everyone comes up with. Who knows? Your pumpkin could make it on here for the sample!! This is delicate work and will require an exacto knife or other small tool that is sharp and should NOT be done with small children or snoopy puggers around. I did mine leaving the dark parts as raw pumpkin and the white clear parts as cut through. I did leave a lot of "meat" on until the very end almost sculpting it first. I left the gray-er areas as meat (no skin) and the words were pretty hard so I left those meat and skin and did not cut those through. If I had to do it again, I would leave the muzzle meat and skin and not cutting it through either, that was too hard to keep in one piece and not breaking it. It's a challenge...GOOD LUCK!!!-why didn't I take a picture of my pumpkin...well, someone pushed it off the counter after I spent about 7 hours on the darn thing! |
