Free Apple Template
Ok, I’ll admit to this blog is written on my macbook and I love it, so here’s a Free Pumpkin Stencil for you Apple fans.

Instructions:
1. To transfer your design onto the pumpkin. First Pin or tape your template to the pumpkin, then score the design into the skin by poking holes through the template with a fork, nail or plastic poking tool (available in some pumpkin-carving kits).
2. Carve by starting at the center of your design and working outward (this avoids putting pressure on areas already carved). Begin with the innermost and smallest details. As each shape loosens up, gently push it out of the pumpkin with a finger or a dull pencil point (a good job for young kids).
3. Lastly, put yourpumpkin in a place of honor (away from flamables), and remember to blow out all candles before you go to sleep.
