Questions

Are these pumpkin stencils really free?
Yes. Print as many as you like for your own pumpkins, classrooms and parties. No sign-up needed.
How do I get a stencil onto my pumpkin?
Print it, cut the paper roughly to size and tape it to the pumpkin. Poke along the lines with a pin or toothpick every few millimetres, peel the paper off, then carve out the black parts, connecting the dots.
What size should I print?
Each stencil has a small, medium and large print size. Pick the one that covers about two thirds of the flattest side of your pumpkin.
Which stencil is best for kids?
Pick an Easy one: a few big shapes and no tiny parts. Kids can draw the dots and scoop, a grown-up does the cutting.
Will any pieces fall out?
No. Every stencil is checked so the parts you leave standing stay attached to the pumpkin; thin bridges hold the middle of letters and eyes in place.
