How to carve this grumpy old pumpkin face stencil

  1. Download the PDF in the size that matches your pumpkin and check the 5 cm scale bar.
  2. Cut a lid or a back opening, scoop out the pulp and thin the front wall to about 1 inch.
  3. Tape the stencil flat and poke along every line about 3 mm apart.
  4. Cut out each black shape with a small saw, starting in the centre and working outward.
  5. Put an LED light inside and clean up any edges that block the glow.

This design had 3 white areas that would have fallen out when carved. We connected them with 3 skin bridges, and the download re-checks the bridges for the pumpkin size you pick.
