About the cat face stencil
A cat face with pointy ears, almond eyes and whiskers: a front-on portrait that reads as cat in a split second. It is the cat stencil to choose when you want the face, not the whole animal.
The almond eyes have pupils, and the nose and whisker pads sit inside the face, so five bridges keep those features attached. The whiskers are the thinnest lines; they are drawn thick enough to cut at the Medium size.
Tips for this design
- Print Medium or Large; whiskers get thin at Small.
- Shave rather than cut the whiskers if your pumpkin wall is thick.
- A round pumpkin matches the round cat face.
Carving the cat face stencil
Five bridges hold the pupils, nose and whisker pads. Cut around the pupils first, then the nose and whisker pads, then the whiskers, and the ears and face outline last. Whiskers are the thinnest lines; at Small size, shave them instead of cutting through.
Cut around the pupils, then the nose and whisker pads, then the whiskers, and the ears and face outline last. Full transfer guide.
Common mistakes
- Cutting whiskers at the Small size, where they break.
- Making the ears too pointy to cut cleanly.
- Losing a pupil bridge.
