How to carve this cat in the window 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 the smallest openings first with a detail saw, then the larger shapes; keep every thin skin strand.
- Put an LED light inside and clean up any edges that block the glow.
This design had 5 white areas that would have fallen out when carved. We connected them with 5 skin bridges, and the download re-checks the bridges for the pumpkin size you pick. Some skin strands are thin at small sizes, so print Medium or Large if you can.
