How to carve this smiley face 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 out each black shape with a small saw, starting in the centre and working outward.
- Put an LED light inside and clean up any edges that block the glow.
This design had 2 white areas that would have fallen out when carved. We connected them with 2 skin bridges, and the download re-checks the bridges for the pumpkin size you pick.
