Combat Boots and Star Military Jack-O-Lantern

A pair of combat boots, laces glowing through separate apertures, flank a carved star in this hard military pumpkin carving idea. The boot shafts must connect to the top frame and the broad soles should anchor to the lower corners, so map those bridges onto your stencil before you begin cutting. Carve the star first as a warmup, then work each boot section from the top down. Shallow-gouge the sole seam line rather than cutting all the way through.
