Carving a MINI Pumpkin
I was told a week ago that I was to carve pumpkins with my girlfriend and her family....I grew up in a family where carving a pumpkin meant charging up the power tools and going to town....

I did alittle work on the computer and came up with a MINI related design.....Pictures are soon to follow.....

I searched for others who did this in the years previous....but came up with nothing...I hope this starts a revolution of MINI Pumpkin Carving.....

I love to carve Jack-o-lanterns! Looking forward to see what you come up with. The only idea I ever came up with is tire treads.

Thanks! Have to give thanks to Detroit Tuned for the MINI silhouette....

www.detroittuned.com

Better quality pictures to come....that was just instant gratification via cell phone....

Also, I am selling my template for $1,000,000....all you do is take it on the pumpkin then lightly dust with spraypaint and cut....then you can mark up the cost of the template and sell it for 1.5 mil!

Very nice! My bro and I carved the MINI logo into our pumpkin back in 2003. I have photos, but not where I'm posting from. It wasn't easy, but it turned out great!

Miniwildcat sent me this photo. He lost the others when his 'puter crashed. You can get the gist of it though.

Heres my 1st attempt at a MINI pumpkin:



it looks kind of funny because the design was a little too big and it wraps around the pumpkin, lol. That and its a cell phone shot.

You should think about cutting out the headlights, so when lit, they shine...

Just a suggestion

I used these templates that I found on the UK site a couple of years ago.

Same here, but I'm going to buy another pair just so I can do it!
