Step 4Cut the image
Once the image is firmly taped in place start poking holes along the lines of the image using a hobby knife or pin. When the image is fully poked (it will get wet and tear slightly) remove the picture and keep it for a reference when you cut it later.
Now the image is fully poked you need to start cutting out the parts. try to cut the pieces of the image from the centre first so you don't need to push on the weakened gourd later. If your design has teeth like mine you should initially cut right by them and then go back later and do the fine cutting. If you are having trouble getting a piece out, try cutting it into smaller pieces so you can narrow down where it still needs to be cut.
As you cut is use the same trick as the top, so you don't cut yourself, and go slowly.
