I had an accident while carving my pumpkin this weekend! I had tried to make my own Batman stencil and I messed up a cut and accidently cut him out! Next year I will have to take a little more time to draw it out. I didn't want to waste the pumpkin, but it had a big hole in it. So I came up with a way to salvage it. I cut out the house and ghost from Happy Hauntings out of some cardstock that I don't ever use. (It used to be black, but had faded. Perfect for this project!) I glued it to some parchment paper and put it inside the pumpkin. I would suggest using a battery operated light inside to keep anything from catching on fire. I had cut out some more to add to it, but the hole was too small. I think that I will add the fence and the tree back to it now that I know it looks a little sparse. I will update with some more pictures when I get it finished! Happy crafting!
