By the way, here is the cute cat pumpkin carving design I chose with my finished carved cat pumpkin that I mentioned in the beginning of this post. If you’re interested, you can find that cute cat face pattern on Etsy.
Check out my quick tips for using a downloadable pumpkin carving pattern to carve a cat design onto a pumpkin.
Tips For Using A Pumpkin Template To Carve A Cat Design
- Check the pumpkin for soft spots. Soft spots are an early indication the pumpkin is starting to rot.
- Print the pattern download in black and white.
- If you will use a real candle to light the inside of the pumpkin, make your cut at the top of the pumpkin to remove the pulp.
- Cut the bottom of the pumpkin for a cleaner look if you’re using a battery powered flameless candle inside instead of real tea lights.
- If you have a smaller pumpkin, resize the cat pumpkin carving stencil to fit.
- Rub vegetable oil or vaseline on your carved pumpkin to preserve it longer. Put it anywhere you have carved or made cuts.
