About the glowing cat eyes stencil
Two big cat eyes with slit pupils peering out of the dark: the simplest and maybe spookiest cat design. With only two shapes, it lets the darkness of the pumpkin do the work, as if a cat is watching from inside.
The slit pupils are left as skin inside each eye, connected at the top and bottom, so no separate bridges are needed. The whole design takes about 15 minutes.
Tips for this design
- Use a green LED for glowing cat eyes.
- Place the eyes high on a dark or white pumpkin.
- Carve a row of pumpkins with cat eyes for a spooky path.
Carving the glowing cat eyes stencil
Each eye is cut in two halves, one on each side of the slit pupil, leaving the pupil attached to the skin above and below. No bridges are needed. Place the eyes high on the pumpkin for a cat watching from the dark.
Cut each eye in two halves, one on each side of the pupil, leaving the pupil connected. Full transfer guide.
Common mistakes
- Cutting the pupil out by accident.
- Placing the eyes too far apart.
- Using a white light instead of a green or yellow one.
Lighting and display
Cat eyes are scariest where people do not expect them: in a bush, behind a planter or in a dark window. Use a green or yellow LED and let the rest of the pumpkin disappear into the dark. Two or three pumpkins with cat eyes at different heights look like a group of cats watching. For photos, use night mode so only the glowing eyes show.
