How to carve a space pumpkin stencil

Cut the rocket or planet as a silhouette first, then the stars around it as pushpin pokes or tiny triangle cuts at least an inch apart. A ringed planet keeps the ring as an uncut band crossing the cut-through planet. An astronaut's visor is a single oval opening in an uncut helmet.

A space pumpkin lit blue in a dark corner looks like a window into the night. Line up planet pumpkins in size order for a solar system on the steps.

Questions

Space stencil questions

How do I make stars sparkle on a space stencil?+

Poke them through with a pin or a small drill bit instead of cutting them. Dozens of tiny holes glow like a starfield and leave the pumpkin strong.

Which space stencil is easiest?+

The rocket silhouette with a few poked stars. It is one opening plus pokes and takes about 30 minutes, which makes it a favourite with kids.

How long do space 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.

Pick a space design, print it, and light up the porch.
