Get Carving!
It’s time to grab your carving tools and get down to business. Start by choosing the perfect pumpkin, make sure it’s nice and firm with a smooth surface. Then, cut off the top and scrape out all the seeds and guts. Now comes the fun part, using the stencil to draw your design onto the pumpkin.
Make sure your lines are nice and clear, this will help guide you as you begin to cut. Using a small serrated knife, carefully cut out the shapes from the stencil. Take your time and remember to be extra cautious when cutting around the smaller details.
Better Together
Jack O Lanterns are great on their own, but why not take it a step further and create a whole display. Stack up your carved pumpkins and add in some festive lights for a spooktacular effect. Or why not try carving some smaller pumpkins and use them as table decorations for your Halloween party.
Another fun idea is to create a pumpkin family, using different sizes and shapes to represent each member of your family. Let your imagination run wild and see what unique creations you can come up with.
Don’t Forget the Seeds
After you’re done carving your Jack O Lantern, don’t throw away those seeds! Roast them up in the oven for a delicious and healthy snack. Simply rinse the seeds, spread them out on a baking sheet and drizzle with a little bit of oil and your favorite seasonings. Pop them in the oven at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes and voila!
Now you’re all set to create the perfect Jack O Lantern for Halloween. Whether you’re going for spooky, funny or cute, this stencil will help you create a pumpkin masterpiece. Happy carving!
