Pumpkin Carving Ideas for Social Media Addicts

Social Media pumpkin carving ideas aren't hard to find. The logos for Twitter, Facebook, Digg, Google and even StumbleUpon are all basic designs that are easy to carve. Find the design you want to carve on your social media pumpkin, grab a carving tool and turn your Halloween jack-o-lantern into sign that you are a true social media addict.

Some sites are offering free social media pumpkin carving stencils that you can print out from your computer. Sites like A Creative Desktop offer free pumpkin carving stencils of the Twitter bird and the Twitter logo.

However, you don't have to search too far other to find an idea for a social media pumpkin carving pattern. Just print out the logo for the social media site you love (the simpler the better if you're not experienced) and enlarge it on a copy machine so you can trace the outline onto your pumpkin.

Helpful tools to carve your social media pumpkin include one or more of these carving helpers:
Sharp kitchen knives, utility or art knives
Washable marker or china pencil to draw your design
Apple corer to make round holes
Pumpkin tool kit including a pumpkin saw
Thin nail or pin to prick the stencil's outline

Although you can use a knife to carve, there are many pumpkin carving tools on the market that make it much easier and more precise to carve your Halloween pumpkin. Check out craft stores and larger retailers like Walmart for these Pumpkin carving tools.

If you need ideas for your social media pumpkin carving pattern, the website, Mashable.com, recently did a fabulous job of rounding up pictures of social media pumpkins. No doubt that there will be quite a few Twitter Fail Whale and Twitter Bird pumpkins out there on Halloween inspired by social media.
