Tools Needed to Use Pumpkin Stencils
Your most important tool to use will be your printer for this project. Other than that you will need tape, something sharp and pointy like a nail or a Phillips head screwdriver, a carving knife, and a pumpkin scraper. Other than that, all you need is your imagination!
Don’t have any of that? No problem, this kit has everything you need to be the next pumpkin carving master. Click here to check it out.
How to Use Pumpkin Stencils
- First things first, you need to hollow out your pumpkin. Make sure you have laid down garbage bags or newspapers to keep your area clean. Next, cut a large circle around the stem and pull. Save the top, but scrape off the “strings”. Now is the fun part, at least the kids think so, pulling out all of the guts!
- Now your pumpkin is ready for your design! Take your printed-out stencil and tape it to your pumpkin.
- Use your sharp nail or a Phillips head screwdriver to outline the border of the design by twisting back and forth.
- Now remove your paper and you should see a “scratched” outline for you to cut. Note: Some of the designs are more complex. If you see different levels of gray areas that means that those areas are shaded or scraped.
- Use your sharp carving knife to start carving your masterpiece!
- Display your pumpkin with pride. Just be sure to use a battery-operated candle instead of a real flame.

I am a mother of three that has refused to grow up. Adulting is for the birds, so I go to Disney World every chance I get for that magical escape from reality. I believe that Haunted Mansion is the best ride in all of the Disney Parks, and I am fervently in team Happily Ever After for fireworks spectaculars, (sorry, not sorry, Enchanted). Finally, I hope I never grow tired of skipping down Main Street, USA, and my dream come true would be “friends with” the Fairy Godmother in my old age.
