How to Use Our Printable Pumpkin Carving Templates
When choosing your pattern, consider the size and shape. For taller patterns, consider getting an oval pumpkin. And for wider patterns, look for pumpkins that are nice and wide.
- Select Your Pattern: Keep the size and shape of your pumpkin in mind. Opt for an oval pumpkin for taller designs and a wider one for expansive patterns.
- Download and Print: Access our free stencils and adjust the scale in your printer settings for a perfect fit on your pumpkin.
- Prepare Your Pumpkin: Tape your chosen pattern onto the pumpkin’s surface. Use a thumbtack to outline the design by puncturing the skin.
- Trace and Carve: If needed, trace over the puncture marks with a pen or marker once the paper is removed. Cut along the designated grey areas to reveal your masterpiece.
