How to carve it

  1. 1Print the stencil at the size that fits your pumpkin and trim the paper.
  2. 2Tape it flat to the pumpkin. Small cuts at the paper's edges help it hug the curve.
  3. 3Poke along every line with a pin or toothpick, a few millimetres apart.
  4. 4Peel the paper off. Carve out the black parts, sawing from dot to dot; small parts first.
  5. 5Put a candle or LED light inside, take a photo in the dark, and enter it in the contest.
