Hilary Clinton Pumpkin Stencil For Fun
As a citizen of the United States of America, I am more thrilled, excited and hopeful about the upcoming presidential election than I have ever been about any other political issue thus far. Who you or I will personally be voting for or even whether you and I will be voting at all is completely irrelevant here. The point is that finally and at long last we have a woman and an African American in the running.
Are you as appreciative as I am to be witnessing the unfolding events in the United States political arena—historical events that have never been beheld in this country since its beginnings? I wonder what our nation’s founding fathers and our past presidents would have to say about our unconventional candidates. Would they be shocked and appalled? I am willing to bet that most of them would be outraged and view them as upsetting scandals. Would any of them be pleased? I am pretty sure that our sixteenth president, President Abraham Lincoln, would applaud it but I cannot for sure speak about any of the others. Watching us from the distance, what is the world saying about our competing candidates for the Democratic ticket? They are most likely shaking their heads in disbelief that the great United States of America is making such a big deal about the possibility of seating a woman or an African American in the White House. They, after all, have for years experienced women and people of color in such positions—to the rest of the world nations this is nothing new.
Of course, you know that I am referring to Hillary Clinton and Baraca Obama. Don’t you? And I believe that between the two and as a woman, Hillary Clinton’s candidacy is most stunning. Therefore without revealing my personal political inclinations, I would like to propose celebrating it in as many ways as is possible, including during the Halloween season by carving a Hillary Clinton pumpkin.
Whether you love Hillary Clinton or hate Hillary Clinton, you have to admit that she would make a wonderful Jack O’ Lantern. After all, she is an extremely expressive woman who has been repeatedly photographed in a multitude of animated possesses and expressions. You will easily find an image of her displaying just about any feeling imaginable and you can transform those images into pumpkin carving stencils of your own creation in no time at all. With a bit of imaginations and a few minor alterations you can change any of her images to sinister, scary, mean, and goofy and so on. Have fun with it and express how you really feel about Hillary Clinton.
The following are easy instructions how to create your own Hillary Clinton pumpkin carving stencil:
1. Find the image of your choice, point your mouse at it, right click and select “copy.”
2. Open a new Microsoft Word document and “paste” the image you copied.
3. Left click once on the image and then right click and choose “Format Picture …”
4. Click on the “Picture” tab, choose “Color,” select “Black & White” and click “OK.”
5. Hillary Clinton’s color image is now in black and white and ready to be sized by dragging the image corners, either left or right. You might need to change the page orientations from portrait to landscape to accommodate the size that will better fit your pumpkin.
6. When you are satisfied with the size of your black and white image, print it.
7. Now look at the printout and decide whether you want to alter it or not. To alter by hand, simple use a pen or pencil and lengthen the two top canines for a scary look, add pointy horns for a menacing look, widen the eyes for a petrified look or add a halo for an angelic look.
8. You can also perform the same alterations by copying your black and white image into a graphics program such as Photoshop and doing them there before printing.
9. Your Hillary Clinton pumpkin stencil is ready all you have to do now is apply it to your pumpkin. Remember: you will be carving out the white parts.
10. Insert a candle in a candle holder and light up your Hillary Clinton Jack O’ Lantern.
