Carving tips for this stencil
- Keep the four white gaps in the outline intact. Cut the eyes and smile first, then work around the arms and hem without joining the separate outline cuts.
- Difficulty: Easy. Fine for a first pumpkin.
- Usually cut small inner pieces before big outer ones, so the pumpkin stays strong while you work.
- Choose a pumpkin with a smooth face at least 9 inches across and thin the wall behind the design from the inside.
More help: print a stencil at actual size, pick a pumpkin and make it last longer.
