Martha Stewart is a liar.
Here's how it really went down:
Get a pumpkin, some needles with the little balls on the end (they probably have an official name -not gonna look it up) and some vampire teeth. Oh, and some toothpicks and a hot glue gun and glue sticks. And something to cut the pumpkin (knife) and dig out the guts (spoon).
(Martha has a template for cutting the hole for teeth but I decided I wasn't going to waste time with printing and cutting paper.)
Mark the width of the teeth by setting them on the pumpkin and making a slit on both sides.
Guesstimate the height.
Start cutting. You'll have to clear out some of the insides but I didn't by any means get all the guts out.
I'm sure Martha's way was fool proof but I had to cut and recut to get the fit I wanted. Leaving the teeth open is cuter.
I used a bit of hot glue and a couple of toothpicks to help them sit just right.
*Note: hot glue does not stick to pumpkins. But, it does help to make them fit a bit better.
There you have it. The Ghetto Guide to a Vampire Pumpkin!
Happy Halloween!!
