Easy Pirate Vampire Pumpkin for Halloween

Craft some whimsical characters using everyday items and pumpkins from around your home. Get ready for a spooky good time!

Meet Mr. Bandido and Mr. Pirate—vampires in disguise!

Originally, I planned to carve simple eyes and add vampire teeth into our pumpkins this year. However, while shopping, I stumbled upon a package of mustaches and eyebrows for Halloween costumes that seemed perfect and hilarious for our pumpkins.

The project turned out amazing, and I adore our new mischievous characters!

How to Make Pirate - Vampire Pumpkins for Halloween:

  1. Prepare the Pumpkin

    Start by thoroughly cleaning out the pumpkin, ensuring you remove all the seeds.

  2. Carve the Features

    Use a knife to carve circular shapes for the eyes and a rectangle for the mouth. The vampire teeth fit perfectly into the rectangle.

  3. Apply Facial Features

    Glue the eyebrows and mustache onto the pumpkin, then add the vampire teeth.

  4. Personalize Your Characters

    Get creative and personalize your pumpkins! Consider adding a hat for Mr. Bandido, and accessorize Mr. Pirate with a bandana and an eye patch. Adding an earring can add an extra cool touch!

TIP For the eye patch:

Cut a piece of black fabric, felt, or foam into a semi-circle shape. You can either glue it in place or add yarn and wrap it around the pumpkin.

Incorporating creative elements like mustaches, eyebrows, and even an eye patch can transform ordinary pumpkins into whimsical characters like Mr. Bandido and Mr. Pirate.

Whether you're crafting with family or enjoying a solo project, these character pumpkins are sure to add charm and laughter to your Halloween celebrations.
