How to carve this butterfly stencil
- Download the PDF in the size that matches your pumpkin and check the 5 cm scale bar.
- Cut a lid or a back opening, scoop out the pulp and thin the front wall to about 1 inch.
- Tape the stencil flat and poke along every line about 3 mm apart.
- Cut out each black shape with a small saw, starting in the centre and working outward.
- Put an LED light inside and clean up any edges that block the glow.
This design had 44 white areas that would have fallen out when carved. We connected them with 44 skin bridges, and the download re-checks the bridges for the pumpkin size you pick.
