Scale
  • 1. Choose Your Design — Visit inasrecipes.com/free-pumpkin-stencils and pick your favorite pattern. Print it on regular paper (8.5×11 inch).
  • 2. Prepare Your Pumpkin — Wash and dry the pumpkin. Cut off the top, remove seeds, and scrape the inside until smooth and dry.
  • 3. Attach the Stencil — Tape the stencil firmly around the pumpkin. For curved surfaces, make small cuts in the paper to adjust the fit.
  • 4. Transfer the Design — Use a pin or thumbtack to poke holes along the stencil lines. Remove the paper to reveal dotted outlines.
  • 5. Start Carving — Cut slowly along the dotted lines using small, controlled strokes. Remove small pieces first, then the larger ones.
  • 6. Light It Up — Insert a small LED candle or fairy lights. Turn off the lights — and watch your pumpkin glow! ✨

Notes

For safety, always carve with small serrated pumpkin tools, not kitchen knives. Keep your pumpkin fresher longer by coating cut edges with petroleum jelly.
