My mom used to tape colored plastic squares on our windows at Christmas---as a non-crafter, I have no idea what the material is called, but you could cover the eyes from the inside with an orange version to camouflage the filled hole in the back.Liz That Skinny Chick Can Bakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03258699925063180509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-161712254926360234.post-18636767667755631722015-08-12T15:12:16.542-04:002015-08-12T15:12:16.542-04:00Plug that hole with another Halloween item inside ...Plug that hole with another Halloween item inside of the pumpkin, like a spider, web cutout, skull, or mouse coming in through said hole that is what I would do.

If you think tulle or lace would be too sheer, then look for an old pair of black tights or pantyhose and do the same thing. Good luck!

I also would purchase a fall berry garland and arrange it (fluff it up) in the pumpkin so that it takes the eye away from the back hole that you dremeled in. Also, if you wanted to go with the mesh. I would either buy or paint it black and you could put a string of lights within the mesh to give it a soft glow but not a glaring light as the light bulb.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14806577391316388078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-161712254926360234.post-33841655945685125152015-08-12T14:39:06.361-04:002015-08-12T14:39:06.361-04:00i do think the funkin plug is a good one!i do think the funkin plug is a good one!TexWisGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641962051044162710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-161712254926360234.post-3531214686707290162015-08-12T13:30:59.638-04:002015-08-12T13:30:59.638-04:00Buying something to work with it sounds like a pla...Buying something to work with it sounds like a plan!
