One of my favorite activities at this time of year is carving pumpkins, and now is the perfect time to get started! The farmers have all brought in their harvests and the biggest and brightest pumpkins are available now for purchase. This is a great time of month to choose what kinds of designs you'd like to create and then plan a day to dig in and create your own jack-o-lanterns!
To help you and your family create the most amazing pumpkins this year, I've collected a bunch of websites where you can download and print beautiful stencils and patterns. These patterns make it simple to create artist-quality pumpkins without all the hassle!
To use your pumpkin stencil, you just print them out and attach them to your pumpkin using masking tape. You can then follow the pattern with a poker to create lines, or even transfer the design directly to your pumpkin using transfer paper from a craft store.
Here are a few of my favorite online stencil resources...

Happy Halloween!
