Have any DISney Fanatics made Pumpkins besides me

[WDW Enabler]

I have fallen in love with making Disney disigns on fake pumpkins. The disign books are available about everywhere that sells halloween stuff. We buy ours during the after Halloween sale each year. All the DISigns I have made in the last 3 or 4 years have been from the book I have called the Fab 5 book, and the princess book.

I make multiple pumpkins each year so there will be a choice of the final product, to take to MNSSHP and get autographed by our favorite characters.

These are the 2 made for this year.

With the LED lighting on:


This year I made Cinderella's Castle and Pirate Goofy with a piece of candy.

These are great. And I love your Goofy!!!! It's my favorite.

I downloaded all the free Disney pumpkins for this year.

I centralized all the DISigns in one place in case anyone else wants them.

Those are great! Thanks so much. We carve our pumpkins every year coordinating with costumes the boys wear. And then of course we do our Annual Disney pumpkins too. We do most freehand, but I like to use stecils for the boys. I'll see if I can find pics from past years.

NICE - but I have a question - what good is a signed pumpkin once it starts rotting?
Aren't they a bit cumbersome to tote in the parks?

I would love to see them. We have the 2 most recent pattern books as well. maybe I will scan them and post them as well.

They look like the fake pumpkins made to use over and over.

Those are great. Love the castle.


And the OP said they are fke so he doesn't have to worry about rotting.

[milliepie]

Yep, he said in his first post they were fake. Very light and easy to carry around.

I found some pics I still have on the computer. The rest (yes, we are carving freaks) are filed away somewhere.


DS was spiderman this year. this is the front, the spider was on the other side.






This was my first attempt at this type of carving. It turned out nothing like I imagined it would look like. LOL.




DS carved Pikachu




DH's Grumpy



When VMK was still around I carved this for a contest.




DS was Harry Potter this year




Isn't it obvious who this is? LOL.




My first Disney carving.

Here are a few templates I found online that I thought I would post links to...just in case you don't have them.

I make mine out of poly craft pumpkins. They are a poly plastic. fairly thick and roubust. they last forever. They are flamable thou, so only use artificial lighting in them.

It is a bit cumbersome but worth it for the reaction from the characters and CMs.

I just found a thread on another section of the boards with a DISer that had a bunch of Disney pumpkin carving templates...not sure if someone is still working this thread but it looks like there were a lot of templates requests in it:
