I'm a tad late on getting this published, but I wanted to provide a list of free pumpkin carving stencils and templates. My sister could always free-carve the most gorgeous designs without any help. Then she'd turn around and look at whatever monstrosity I'd created and we'd laugh our tails off at how bad I was.
So if you're like me and need a little help carving your jack-o-lantern, then here are some great freebies for you!
All you have to do is print out a free design, place the sheet over your pumpkin, and carve away! It's like tracing for your gourds, which…kinda sounds way dirties than it actually is.
