Choose a pattern that will work on your pumpkin For a first carve, choose large openings with broad connections between them. Check whether the design uses cutouts, surface etching, or both. Shaded areas are not always meant to be cut through. Preview the entire pattern at your chosen print size before transferring it. Keep a simpler design or painting activity ready for younger children; an adult should handle sharp carving tools. Print our transfer and carving guide New · Start simple

Print. Transfer. Make it yours. Choose a pattern and print at a size that fits your pumpkin. Tape it to a clean, dry surface and transfer the shapes. For cutout patterns, an adult cuts the black shapes and keeps white bridges intact. For painting or surface etching, keep the pumpkin wall intact; those designs contain enclosed details. Use a battery light for carved pumpkins, or display your painted creation. Detail labels describe the artwork, not a tested skill rating. These originals have not been physically test-carved. Detailed branches, legs and thin bridges may need to be made wider. Children can use the patterns as painting inspiration while adults handle cutting.
