Dremmel Carved Pumpkin

I decided to have a little fun tonight while carving pumpkins with the kiddos. I've seen people do the vampire teeth in the pumpkin and I've seen the fancy sculpting of the pumpkin. I thought I'd combine the two.

Step 1: Materials

YOU WILL NEED:
smaller pumpkin
vampire teeth
dremmel
safety glasses

Step 2: Design Pumpkin

I made sure the mouth was the right size for the teeth and then did a basic drawing.

Step 3: Bust Out the Dremmel & Start Carving

I just started having fun with the dremmel. This is where it was really important to have the safety glasses. I built up a pretty good layer of pumpkin dust on my face. I jade to keep wiping off my glasses.

Step 4: Light the Pumpkin

Put a candle in and see how it glows.

Why do so many people add an extra M to Dremel?

Your pumpkin came out looking cool though.

Auto correct does that. thanks for the compliment.

Very nicely done! I carved a pumpkin with my dremel last year, and I looked just like you! Sticky bits of orange all over me.

What kind of bits have you been using? Anything proved especially useful (or not?)

sorry, accidently replied as a comment rather than to you.

How did your dremmel tool look after this? Was it as covered as your face? I'd like to give it a try, but my dremmel tool is pretty new and I'd hate to gunk it up too bad!

[NathanSellers]

No. There was some dust on it, and easily brushed off. I wouldn't be too worried about it.

Thanks. It was a lot of fun. I just used a round ripper. I used an old one too since I didn't want to spoil my newer, sharper ones.
