How to carve a patriotic pumpkin stencil
Stars are five short straight cuts meeting at points; finish every point with a knife. Stripes are long straight slits cut with a fine saw, alternating cut and uncut. An eagle is a silhouette cut in one piece with the feathers scraped. Keep stars at least an inch apart in a field.
Patriotic pumpkins line a walk on Veterans Day or the Fourth. Three pumpkins lit red, white, and blue in a row is the classic arrangement.

Poke the five points with a pin, connect them with a ruler and marker, cut each straight edge with a fine saw, and finish every point from both sides with a craft knife.
Can I carve a pumpkin for the Fourth of July?+
Yes. Pie pumpkins and pale squashes are available in summer. A patriotic carving with a red or blue LED looks great at a July cookout.
