Completed Blue’s Clues Pumpkin (with photos)

by Alicia at BalancingMotherhood.com on October 31, 2008

My husband asked what design we should carve in the pumpkin this year and I answered, “Blue’s Clues.”

“Can you go look up a stencil on the Internet?” he requested.

“Sure, it’s called Balancing Motherhood!” I told him about the post I did a few weeks ago with several pre-school templates.

Here are our results:

We started with the pattern I found online. Tracing it with a fabric tracing tool.

Began cutting, starting with the details on the interior of Blue’s face.

Worked toward the outside of the circle of the pattern.

Light it up! (We used LED lights in lieu of a candle which gives the light a rich glow.)

Here’s wishing everyone a happy and safe Halloween.

My daughter made this pumkin this year and it was very pretty. She accidentally left out the bat in the corner but it was still very cool!
