With Halloween less than a month away, this is prime time for families to embark on yearly pumpkin carving traditions! Get a little creative this year, and try out some of Twin Pines’ favorite pumpkin decorating ideas with you family!
Stenciled Designs
This traditional carving method involves using pre-designed stencils as a guide for your carving. Start by taping the paper with the design onto the surface of the pumpkin, then use your carving tools to follow the lines in the image. When you remove the paper, your design will have been transferred directly onto the pumpkin! With a little cleanup, these designs often come off looking sharp and interesting.
Expert Tip: Simple carving can be the best method for kids and beginners, but advanced stenciling is also available for older carvers of higher skill levels! Some great beginner stencil options can be found at HGTV.com while more funky options are available at Buzzfeed.com. Both allow you to browse your options then print right at home!
