Step 1: Tools needed

You will need, masking tape (the kind painters use), a selection of knives: a large kitchen knife, some smaller scalpel type knives (I got these from a pound store/dollar store), scissors for cutting out your design.

Hah, fancy finding this. I just carved my pumpkin last weekend, I went for a head-on (sorry about that one) perspective.

Honestly, the picture is a bit too close and is kinda hard to make out as what it's suppose to be. I can see it fine in the thumbnail, but looks off to me in the full size too. I'm sure it looks great though.
