How to carve a funny pumpkin stencil
Comedy faces depend on expression, so cut the mouth exactly as drawn; a slightly different curve changes a laugh into a frown. Leave the tongue or any protruding feature attached at the base. For a sick pumpkin, cut the mouth low and pile the scooped seeds below it.
Funny pumpkins belong at the front door where people stop and laugh. A pair of pumpkins reacting to each other, one shocked and one giggling, works even better than one.
Questions
Funny stencil questions
What are the easiest funny pumpkin stencils?+
The cross-eyed and open-mouthed faces. They use big simple shapes and only a few cuts, so most are marked Easy and take under 45 minutes.
How do I do the pumpkin throwing up its seeds?+
Carve an open mouth low on the pumpkin with the eyes squinting, then pile the scooped-out seeds and pulp spilling from the mouth onto the step. Refresh the pile if it dries out.
How long do funny pumpkin stencils take to carve?+
Check the individual stencil's carving guide for its time estimate. Preparation, pumpkin size, wall thickness and your experience affect the total; difficulty alone does not determine carving time.
