1. Transfer the pattern onto the pumpkin.
2. Using a knife or carving tool, cut out the openings.
3. Use a gouge to cut into the teeth, cutting just deep enough to make "pearly-whites."
4. Lightly stuff garden gloves with fiberfill.
5. Slip a length of thin-gauge wire, bent into a circle at one end, into each finger and thumb.
6. Tuck the gloves under the pumpkin and shape them as desired.
