HOW DO YOU USE A PUMPKIN STENCIL?

Carving your pumpkin with the use of a stencil makes it easier. And here’s how you do it, follow these steps on using a pumpkin stencil:

The first thing you want to do is clean and wipe down your pumpkin.
After the outer surface is clean, you would need to clean the inside next. To this, slice a rectangle or box at the side of the pumpkin. This is better to do instead of cutting it on top. Leaving the stem on will keep it from rotting.
When that’s all done and finished, print out your desired template from these free printable scary pumpkin stencils.
Grab your clean pumpkin and the stencil. Simply position it on the smoothest side and put tape around the paper to hold it down.
There are two ways you can use the stencil – either use it as is after printing or cut out the template so you can trace it on the pumpkin before carving.
If you are planning to just use it as-is and won’t cut out the template, you can tape it to the pumpkin and use a sharp tool to trace the stencil onto the surface.
After you’re done with your stencil, you can start carving!
