Answer 2

I don't know if you can still purchase carbon paper in a stationery store or not. Carbon paper is a thin sheet of paper, usually letter size, that is black (or dark blue) on one side. If you put another sheet of paper over this (with the black side down), and a clean sheet of (white) paper below it, anything you write will automatically be transferred to the second sheet of paper. People used to use carbon paper frequently, such as when a businessperson wanted to make a copy of a letter he or she sent. You can easily make one, two, or even three copies using a typewriter; any more than that, and the image will probably not come through. Carbon paper is inexpensive and may be used more than once. Often businesses used to use carbon paper with their receipts, so that the customer would get the original, but the seller would have one or more copies. Carbon paper has nothing to do with magazines.

Answer 3

If it's blue you are looking at the Transfer paper they use for fabrics.

Graphite Transfer paper is gray. You can do the same thing by taking a sheet of tracing paper or wax paper. Color for a while with you pencil to get down a good amount then flip it over. Tape to the pumpkin and draw the face you want.

Or draw onto regular paper and use something sharp and thin like a neede to poke out the lines sort of like connect the dots.

Answer 4

Carbon paper can be found at the big retail office supply stores.
