Carving tips for this stencil
- The fur is many small openings. Cut the eyes and nose area first, then work outward through the ears and chest.
- Difficulty: Challenging. Plan on an evening and use a small kit saw, not a kitchen knife.
- 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.
