Thanksgiving is only a day away and Im preparing a thanksgiving fiesta for the students of the college…it will be fun, so I made these cute printable crowns. They include a Turkey, Indian and Pilgrim design. . You can download these printables HERE. Step 1Cut a Hole in the Pumpkin. The first step is hollowing out the pumpkin. Use a keyhole saw to cut the hole. If you'll be using a candle for illumination, you can cut the hole in the pumpkin's top (always put the candle in a high-sided glass, and never leave unattended). For electric lights, make the hole in the bottom or side so you can hide the cord. Step 2Scoop Out the Flesh Scoop out flesh, pulp, and seeds with a plaster scraper. Step 3Draw Your Design Now it's time to draw or transfer your selected designs (use one of the following pumpkin templates or draw your own). Affix it to the pumpkin, and trace the design by poking holes with a sharp awl, or T-pin. Step 4Carve the Features Remove the template if used and carve along the pattern with a knife or linoleum carving tool. If you want to make holes in the pumpkin for eyes, use a drill equipped with a 1/2-inch or 3/4-inch spade bit. Step 5If desired, place candles, small flashlights, or battery-operated light sources inside your pumpkin.
Tip: Prevent exposed areas of the pumpkin's flesh from turning brown by applying a film of Vaseline. Regnum Mare: In Latin means the kingdom of the sea, where the treasures can lure in your home place the sweet sensation that an ocean creates! This construction is dedicated to my beloved friend and owner of an exotic beach bar that has given us moments of relaxation throughout the summer. At Kakia Thalassa namely and Vraxos Beach Bar the sea sent me this wood perhaps in order to show me the most precious treasures we can retrieve by. The thalassoxyla in Greek called and driftwoods with their smooth finish that is the result of a constant contact with natural elements such as wind and rain and the wave friction with the sand of the beach. Pieces of a tree or possibly a boat the driftwoods made a journey through time, a journey in a vehicle for inspiration and imagination.! I've just used paper, acrylic paint, ribbons, twins and of course the driftwood! See below step by step my ideas, use your imagination and keep your summer alive for ever :-) Organize your twine and embroidery thread with some cute dress form embroidery thread holders.
