How to Make a Pac-Man Halloween Pumpkin
When decorating a Halloween pumpkin, you can keep it as a traditional jack o'lantern or spice it up with an attention grabbing themed pumpkin. Themes can range from Halloween creatures, detailed designs, or pop-culture. One of these themed pumpkins is based off of one of most popular video game characters of all time, Pac-Man. The carving of a Pac-Man pumpkin is a lot different than normally carving pumpkins, but it is fairly simple and easy to learn. Does this Spark an idea?
