If you haven’t started your jack-o-lantern carving yet, time is running out. Online searches are peaking for searches on phrases like “how to carve a pumpkin”, “Free Pumpkin Carving Patterns and Templates”, and “Pumpkin Seed Recipes.”
Fortunately, there are plenty of free pumpkin carving templates and tips available for download from a number of web sites and other online resources. The templates are very easy to use and can help a novice carver produce very professional looking results.
Some stores also offer pumpkin carving kits which include the templates as well as some useful carving tools. Most of the tools are basically small saw blades, but excellent results can also be achieved with a large cutting knife and a smaller serrated steak knife.
The tips for carving your pumpkin are fairly simple. The first step is to cut open the top and use a large spoon, and then your bare hand to scoop out all of the insides. Remember to save the pumpkin seeds as they can be baked into a very healthy snack. See out articles on “Pumpkin Seed Recipes” for more information on that.
Once downloaded, free pumpkin carving patterns or templates can be scaled to size if needed. Most experts say the best way to use the templates is to cut out all of the parts on the paper template that you will cut out on the pumpkin. Now tape the template to your pumpkin. After tracing around the template on the pumpkin with a thin marker, remove the template and begin carving with your knife.
