Free Pirate Pumpkin Carving Pattern

How to:

Carve out the face in the usual manner using any of our pumpkin face stencils and add a ‘scar’ to it. Now, create a 3-D design by carving out the ears and then pressing the cutouts partially back into the pumpkin. See image below for a guide. Add a large gold-hoop earring for the final touch.

Complete with a pirate party hat and eye patch. We used the ones from a  kiddie sized pirate dress-up set.

Candle Free Lighting Idea

To add a spooky effect, turn the pirate pumpkin into a dramatic centerpiece with a little dry ice. Place some dry ice in a small dish inside the pumpkin and add a bit of water. Light the pumpkin with a light stick.
