DIY Detailed Death Star Carved Pumpkin Tutorial from Fantasy Pumpkins here. I just watched a feature about Fantasy Pumpkins on PBS tonight. Their website also has free patterns and stencils here, links to other sites, and a huge archive of amazing carved pumpkins.

DIY Vera Bradley Decoupage Pumpkins Tutorial from Crafting Rebellion here. She uses decorative paper napkins to make this project. I’m a huge fan of using napkins instead of paper for many projects. First of all they are so much cheaper, the patterns you can find are amazing, you can glue them to anything (frames, different shapes, cardboard etc…), and they are easy to use.
DIY Steampunk Cinderella’s Coach No Carve Pumpkin from BHG here. First seen at Geek Crafts here.
Instead of a magic wand, use corn planters for the wheels, a soap dish for the driver’s seat, a drawer pull for the door, and a sink drain for the window. The little mice are mini pumpkins with upholstery-tack noses, wire whiskers, and nail feet.
