Simply download the carving pattern you wish to use, trace the pattern onto your Halloween pumpkin and then, using your pumpkin carving tools, create your Disney pumpkin masterpiece!http://family.go.com/disney/pkg-disney-parties-and-holidays/pkg-pumpkin-templates/

While you can certainly find Disney pumpkin carving patterns on the official Disney website around Halloween each year, many times you can find Disney patterns for free on the Internet. Children who love Disney characters will delight in carving up their very own Tigger Costume or Mickey Mouse pumpkin using free printable Disney pumpkin carving patterns and stencils.http://family.go.com/holidays/pkg-pumpkin-templates/#

Once you've found the pumpkin pattern or stencil you want to use, you may want to attach the design onto your pumpkin. Take a pin or tack and poke holes through the paper to leave a trace design. Using your pumpkin carving tools, follow the holes to carve the pumpkin into your favorite Disney design.http://family.go.com/entertainment/article-602309-disney-pumpkin-carving-template---tigger-t/

In 1999, the company Pumpkin Masters Inc. filed a law suit against the Disney corporation for a line of Winnie the Pooh pumpkin carving kits. Pumpkin Masters claimed that Disney infringed upon their patent. Today Disney and Pumpkin Masters work together to promote various Disney pumpkin carving patterns.http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/Pumpkin-Masters-Inc-Company-History.html
