How to carve a monster face pumpkin stencil
Monster faces mix big and small openings. Cut the small features first, like warts, nostrils, and single teeth, then the eyes, then the mouth. Bulging eyes are round cuts with a scraped ring around them so they look like they pop out. Horns can be cut through or left uncut with a scraped edge.
Monster pumpkins are great at kids' parties, where they are funny rather than scary. A group of them with different faces looks like a monster family.
Questions
Monster Face stencil questions

Cut the eye through as a circle, then scrape a wide ring around it so the eye appears to sit in a raised socket. A small uncut pupil at the top finishes the pop-eyed look.
