"Hi! I'm Vincent Laporta for Expert Village. Now, we make sure that we're going to center it where we want it. We're going to take some tape. Once we're happy where it is, we just start to tape it onto the pumpkin. Remember when I cut these here? You'll see why that's important in a minute. Go over to the side here and when we tape it, since the pumpkin's round, we have to do a fold over like this here. Don't worry if the pattern is a little off because you'll be fixing that while you're cutting it. Just a few more pieces of tape. Press it down. We do the same to bottom. Try not to have your pattern too low. You want it up high. If you find that you like a pattern and the pattern's too big or you want to make it larger, use a photo copying machine. You can shrink these for any size pumpkin you want just by doing that and you get to save the original, which is something you could always reference back if you like it that much. A couple more pieces. Now, this here we're going to fix by adjusting it. That's why we cut these corners here. All we do is pull it up and we can adjust it. Like I said earlier, it doesn't really matter when you're cutting it, as long as you're close you can go off it a little bit if you have to. We're not really worried about that right now. That's how we put the pumpkin pattern on our pumpkin. "
