9 Free Pumpkin Carving Stencils
"Ah, Fall. The perfect time of year between sweat and hypothermia. If there’s one thing we all know about fall – it brings with it the popularly notorious obsession with pumpkins. From pumpkin spice lattes, to pumpkin pies, and pumpkin scented candles, pumpkins are literally in the air. For those of us with a more traditional love of fall, our favorite pumpkin-related activity has always been the simple act of carving them. Whether you’re a fan of jack o’ lanterns, or a more artistic variation, you can’t really go wrong with this Halloween tradition. For those of us who are less creatively inclined, we decided to put together a tool to make the season a bit more fun. When everyone is out trick-or-treating in their Halloween costumes, draw their attention to something a bit more exciting than your front door with our Halloween Stencils. Hint: all the stencils featured on this list include a free printable template that you can use on your pumpkins. Happy carving! "
