How to carve this scythe 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.

Every white area in this design already connects to the rest of the pumpkin skin, so nothing falls out when you carve it.
