Donald Trump Mug Shot Pumpkin Stencil

Added to the long list of iconic mug shots over the years, this might be the most highly anticipated. This will be the first released in a series of stencils between now and Halloween! Be sure to comment below on any you’d like to see. After months of speculation and indictments the Donald Trump mug shot is being celebrated by some and used as motivation for others, but either way, it will be the talk of the trick-or-treat!

While carving your pumpkins, enjoy some No Bake Pumpkin Pie Tarts!

All you need to do is print the stencil below by saving the image below.

• Pumpkin
• Donald Trump Mug Shot Paper Stencil
• pins
• Pumpkin carving kit (including a carving knife and scoop)
• LED candle or light source (for illumination)

Choose a Pumpkin

Select a pumpkin that’s suitable for carving. Look for one with a smooth surface and a shape that matches your stencil design. Since this picture is going to be so iconic you might choose to use a fake pumpkin you can put out every year!  Get this large foam carving pumpkin!

Prepare the Pumpkin:

Cut off the top of the pumpkin by carving a circular lid around the stem (if using a real pumpkin). Make sure to angle your cuts slightly inward so that the lid doesn’t fall inside the pumpkin. Clean out the seeds and stringy bits using a scoop or your hands or an old CD to scrape them out.

Attach the Stencil:

Use the pins to attach the paper stencil to the pumpkin. Smooth out any wrinkles or bubbles so that the stencil lies flat against the pumpkin’s surface.

Transfer the Design:

Poking Holes: Use a push pin or poking tool to trace along the lines of the stencil, creating small holes in the pumpkin’s skin following the design.
Use carbon paper under the stencil and trace it.

Outline the Donald Trump Stencil and cut out the black part of the stencil.

If you using Carbon paper you can purchase it here.

Light the Pumpkin:

Once you’ve finished carving, place an LED light in the pumpkin and place it outside.
