Tools and Materials
Miniature saw
Small pumpkin (For a petrifying pale complexion, look for a white pumpkin)
Plastic eyeballs
Thumbtack or pin
- For the eyes, hold saw at an angle and cut 2 cone-shaped holes into the pumpkin. The diameter of the holes should be slightly smaller than the eyeballs' diameter.
- Print mouth template. Lay template on pumpkin, and poke tack through, all along outline, to transfer design. Cut along that outline with saw, and remove excess flesh.
- Wedge eyeballs into holes.

I made these last year, really cute and not too hard to make. The eyes weren't chocolate. I found them at the party store, just like it says in the directions. I did have to add the bloodshot look with red ink.
Well, I'm PRETTY Sure they are the chocolate/candy ones! Heehee, wasn't so sure after I zoomed in. :)
@ mrsguirand:
The eyeballs they are using are the carmel/orange creme/ect. filled chocolate ones you can find in the candy section. I know about these because we get them every year because(to my family) they are thee best tasting Halloween candies! Also because you can see the tin foil wrap. ;)
Can't wait to try this! :D

No Party City here, so I just used a regular sized pumpkin and got styrofoam eyes in the craft section at Wal-Mart. Not as easy to paint on, but effective! Mine turned out great! http://pinterest.com/pin/345432562/
Anyone find large eyeballs like that?
Can't wait to try this with my 2 nieces this weekend!
I couln't find the eyeballs where I live so I bought some ping pong balls and painted my own with acrylic paints. I sealed them after painting and they came out great!
