How to carve a dragon pumpkin

  1. Pick a design and download the PDF in the size that matches the flattest face of your pumpkin.
  2. Cut a lid or a hole in the back, scoop out the pulp and thin the front wall to about 1 inch so the light shines through.
  3. Tape the stencil flat, poke along every line about 3 mm apart, then peel the paper off.
  4. Cut out the black shapes with a small saw, smallest pieces first, and keep every white bridge.
  5. Light it with an LED and clean up any edges that block the glow.

Carving tips
