Sycamore67 Posted October 22, 2015 Report Posted October 22, 2015 I cut a couple of Ghosts for Halloween using a pattern from Shelia Landry. The pattern included a couple of ghost patterns and pumpkin patterns. I used one of the pumpkin patterns to make a base for the ghost to stand up. The ghost and pumpkins were painted with acrylic paints and then with a spray can of lacquer. I couple of the ghosts were painted with some glow in the dark paint and work pretty well.

Some of that type work would fancy up the ribs of the pumpkin too if you wanted .The white you used was dreamy good like pearlesant white,cloudy white!Good thinking! Quote

kywoodmaster Posted October 23, 2015 Report Posted October 23, 2015 Very nice idea. I can see the kids loving these. Quote
heppnerguy Posted October 23, 2015 Report Posted October 23, 2015 the kids ?? heck I love them.. these are quick and easy patterns to cut but so decorative and festive. Good work Dick heppnerguy Quote
Sycamore67 Posted October 23, 2015 Author Report Posted October 23, 2015 Thank you for the comments. The pattern was from Sheila Landry and contained suggestions for painting. Her plans are well worth the price. It was my first time with acrylic paints and it worked well and not too expensive. I did the carving with t h a double cut carbide bit in my Dremel and then sanded. Quote
Kepy Posted October 23, 2015 Report Posted October 23, 2015 Nice idea and execution. You might also make either the ghosts larger and the pumpkins smaller and glue the pumpkin to the front of the ghost. The double thickness would allow them to stand. Quote
