Pumpkin Stencils
One of the best fall activities to do with your family is picking out pumpkins and taking a "stab" at creating a masterpiece. Rather than spending time scouring the internet to find the best stencil possible, we've compiled a great list for you and your family to use!
Pumpkin Carving Tips:
- Clean your pumpkin before carving. Excess dirt can make it harder to carve
- Choose a larger sized pumpkin if you'd like to carve a more detailed design
- When carving out the top, cut at an angle so the lid doesn't fall in
- Using a large, heavy-duty spoon is the best way to scoop out the pumpkin seeds and guts
How to use the Stencils:
- Pick out your stencil and cut out a circle around the design
- Tape the cut-out to your pumpkin. It's easiest to tape the top down first, then the bottom, then the sides.
- Using a tool with a pointed tip, poke a series of holes around the stencil. for more detailed designs, you may want to poke more holes closer together.
- Remove the paper to reveal the entire outline as little poked holes. Use the dots as your guide for carving out the design. We recommend carving out smaller sections before the larger ones.
- Once you've finished carving, add a candle and place out for decoration!
