Instructions
Step 1:
Download the ginkgo pattern. Resize the design on your printer or a photocopier to suit the size of your pumpkin and cut out the pattern.
Step 2:
Tape the pattern to the pumpkin. Use a washable pen to trace around the pattern. Feel free to alter the pattern by adding design elements of your choice.
Step 3:
Using your pumpkin-carving tools, carefully cut along the pattern lines. For the leaves, cut from the base of the leaf and taper towards the outer leaf edge.
Step 4:
Wash off any leftover marker lines.
Tip:
Prolong the life of your pumpkin by shaving instead of carving the ginkgo leaf pattern.
