About the ghost trio stencil
Three little ghosts of different sizes floating together: the ghost trio tells a tiny story of a ghost family on its way somewhere. It fills the face of a medium or large pumpkin nicely.
With three bodies and six eyes, the trio needs nine bridges, the most of any ghost design except the cat ghost. Each ghost is separate, so you can rest between them and the pumpkin stays strong.
Tips for this design
- Keep at least 1.5 cm of skin between the three ghosts.
- Print Large on a 10 inch pumpkin to make the smallest ghost easier.
- A wide pumpkin gives the trio room to float.
Carving the ghost trio stencil
With nine bridges spread across three ghosts, the trick is to finish one ghost at a time. Start with the smallest, which has the tightest curves, then move to the medium and large ghosts. Leave at least 1.5 cm of skin between the bodies so the pumpkin wall stays strong.
Carve the smallest ghost completely first, then the medium one, then the largest. Full transfer guide.
Common mistakes
- Cutting all three outlines first, which weakens the wall.
- Using the Small print size, where the smallest ghost gets fiddly.
- Skipping a bridge on the smallest ghost.
Lighting and display
The ghost trio is a family, so display it as one: center stage on the porch, with smaller pumpkins around it. A warm orange light makes the three ghosts glow evenly. If you have three kids, let each claim a ghost. For photos, shoot straight on so all three ghosts are the same brightness.
