USA Text Pumpkin Stencil

USA Text Pumpkin Stencil

Bold block letters spelling "USA" are carved as open pierce-throughs in this easy pumpkin stencil, with a five-pointed star replacing the crossbar of the letter A. The rounded, wide letters are generously sized and leave thick orange walls between them. On the lit pumpkin the three letters glow brightly and the star cutout inside the A shines as a distinct shape. Score the star outline inside the A before cutting the surrounding letter body, since the star's tight inner points are easiest to navigate when the pumpkin wall around them is still rigid.

MAGA Pumpkin Stencil

MAGA Pumpkin Stencil

The acronym "MAGA" is set in wide, bold stencil letters on the upper portion, with a row of five evenly spaced five-pointed stars running beneath it. All letters and stars are fully pierced through, so the finished jack-o-lantern glows the text and stars against the night. The star points are the sharpest cuts in this design; carve each star from its center outward to each tip rather than tracing the outer perimeter, which helps keep the thin points from tearing.
