Carve a Pumpkin with duct tape

Carve a Pumpkin with duct tape

Here I am going to show you how to carve a pumpkin with duct/duck tape, I thought up this idea when I was going to start carving my pumpkin and I did not want to draw the picture on because its can be hard to get the marker off, so I cut some duct/duck tape and used it as a stencil. For me, this work a lot better and I think the result was really cool

You will need:

-Duct/duck tape (doesn't matter what brand it is)
-Pumpkin
-Knifes (i carved my pumpkin with an x-acto knife)
-picture or drawing (what every you want the pumpkin to look like)

First, decide what you want to carve on your pumpkin, I chose a wolf in front of a moon, then cut it out and place it on top of a piece of duck tape. Now cut it out. I'm also going to show you how to carve the instructables robot into your pumpkin. Once the stencil is cut out apply it to your pumpkin

Hey, I really loved yous pumpkin and I did mine but, I didn't use more than my memory and a knife.
Of course, it wasn't as nice as yours(I did it in an hour and a half, just before going out with my niece)
