Carving guide
How to carve a happy pumpkin stencil
Happy faces use round eyes and a wide mouth. Cut the eyes as clean circles with short saw strokes, leaving a small uncut highlight if the design has one. The mouth is the last cut. Eyebrows are thin arcs above the eyes; cut them with a knife so they stay narrow.
A happy pumpkin on the doorstep sets the tone for a friendly house. Several small ones in a row look like a welcoming committee.
