Grog-filled Halloween!!!

Halloween is getting close! The excitement is literally building. I am already decorating, pumpkin carving and having a blast making DIY projects with the family. Halloween just isn’t Halloween without a few fun DIY projects. Whether it be a homemade Halloween Wreath or Ghostly decorations, we come together with glue guns in hand ready to take Halloween by storm.

This year, We made several paper lanterns and hung them in LED lights to shine up the house. They are perfect for our Halloween party and they are a spooky addition to the decor. Of course, if you don’t want to hang these little lanterns, you can always display them on tables, desks, or anywhere that needs a touch of Halloween. These lanterns come in 4 different colors: Red, green, purple, and orange. If you want a different color, I could probably make that for you and add it to the list. They feature a Black Cat, Jack-o-lantern, A spider in it’s web, and a Skull.

How to carve a pumpkin:

1. Wash any dirt off the pumpkin.
2. Cut a round circle at the top and remove the stem. Make sure to keep it in tact to use later!
3. Using the pumpkin scooper, remove all of the gooey insides and the pumpkin seeds. If you are adventurous, you can clean off the seeds and bake them with sea salt and spice for a protein-packed treat.
4. Pick your template, print it out and tape it to the side of the pumpkin you wish to carve.
5. using a thumb tack, puncture holes around the outer black portions of the template. Be sure the holes go into the pumpkin and leave the pattern in the pumpkin.
6. Remove printed paper from the pumpkin
7. Next, get to cutting with the pumpkin carving saw, following the design left by the tacks. Be sure you are only cutting the black parts of the template from the pumpkin.
8. Place a tea candle inside and admire your handy work!

This Halloween I wanted to make a very cute Slugterra Pumpkin of Burpy. However, to my surprise, I discovered that there are no Slugterra Pumpkin templates available…None…Nada…Zipola… Imagine my shock and horror. How could Slugterra be lacking in this department? These slugs are so cute that they should be displayed in a jack-o-lantern. With my search coming up empty, I realized that I would have to be the one to rectify this nonsense. I went to work straight away. I mean, Halloween is just around the corner and it is time to display our pumpkins.

First I made Burpy…of course. He is definitely my top favorite with his leadership skills, strength, and mischievous side. You can’t have anything Slugterra without this little fire slug. It is also perfect that he is a “fire” slug considering how one lights up a pumpkin. 😉

After Burpy I made Spooker the Frightgeist slug. With one hit, this little guy will make you afraid of everything, including your own shadow. I think he would be funny to have at an entrance to a haunted house. It sure would make everything a whole lot scarier.

The last pumpkin I made was Goon, the mortal enemy of Eli and Burpy. He is certainly one of the more scarier Ghoul slugs with his ability to take over a mind and bend it to his will. Goon’s evilness will go down in history for making Junji destroy his home and nearly duplicating his success with Eli.
