How to Make a Haunted House on a Pumpkin
- 1). Print out a haunted house template from the Internet or draw your own on a sheet of paper. The image should be in black and white, with the black portions reflecting the areas to leave on the pumpkin and the white areas to cut away. For example, the house itself would be in black but the windows and doors would be white.
- 2). Add other Halloween details around the house, such as a witch flying overhead or a ghost in the window of the house; the window would be white, but the ghost in the window would be black.
- 3). Cut the top of the pumpkin and remove the inside of the pumpkin and the seeds.
- 4). Tape the image to the front of the pumpkin.
- 5). Poke an outline of the image through the paper with a pencil or a tack, outlining the images of the scene, such as the house and witch.
- 6). Cut away the areas surrounding and within the house, such as the background around the house and the windows within it.
- 7). Place a flashlight or candle inside the pumpkin to illuminate the image of the house.
