From the Web Wednesday: Carving Pumpkins

There are TONS of ideas for fun ways to carve your halloween pumpkins this year. I have an idea that I want to work on this weekend and I will post when I finish it :) Until then, I have found some of my favorites from the web and thought you could use them if you needed a little extra inspiration. Some are more elaborate (I am not that talented at carving pumpkins!) while some are unique but still simple!

The first ones I found were from the blog Cool Pumpkin Carving Ideas. They have quirky Jack-O-Lanterns of all kinds. My favorites were the Pumpkin Pie, the McDonald's pumpkin and the ;-) pumpkin! Check out all of their pumpkin carving ideas. 

 

 If you have kids who love Disney, you might try turning your Jack-o-Lantern into a Disney character. DisneyFamily.com has templates that you can use to cut out all of your favorite ones! Click here to see all of their pumpkins.

If you are looking for more crafty ways to carve pumpkins for decorations check out Beckham and Bloom. They have very cute ideas that look fun, crafty, cute and elegant all the same time! Click here to see all of their ideas.

I also thought I would throw this one in there! It is so amazing, and I know that I could never get it done, but I just thought it was an awesome idea! R2D2 and Death Star Pumpkins.
