Ariel Pumpkin Carving Template
How to make it
- There are
two ways to transfer your design onto the pumpkin. One is to copy it
freehand onto a clean, dry pumpkin with a water-based marker (mistakes
can be easily corrected with a paper towel). The other is to tape your
template to the pumpkin, then score the design into the skin by poking
holes through the template with a nail or plastic poking tool (available
in some pumpkin-carving kits).
- Carve by
starting at the center of your design and working outward (this avoids
putting pressure on areas already carved). Begin with the innermost and
smallest details. As each shape loosens up, gently push it out of the
pumpkin with a finger or a dull pencil point (a good job for young
kids). Tip: If you cut something you didn't intend to, perform an ad
hoc pumpkin surgery: Stick a toothpick through the flesh side of the
piece and fit it back into place.
- Lastly,
put your jack-o'-lantern in a place of honor (away from flammables), and
remember to blow out all candles before you go to sleep.
