Halloween 2010: Free Pumpkin Carving Designs And Stencils

Halloween is almost upon us now, and I m sure there are still many of you making your last minute Halloween party preparations. This of course could include carving that all important pumpkin, but some of you may be short of ideas on what design to use this year. Maybe a stencil could help?

After scouring the Internet I found an article over at walletpop.com by Julia Scott, which provides links to the best websites that provide free pumpkin carving stencils. Once you have found the perfect design for your Halloween pumpkin, just download, cut it out and get carving.

For example, hersheys.com has around 30 different designs, starting with simple, beginner's patterns to the more advanced designs for the more experienced carver. Another great site is ehow.com, whose patterns include a monster face, bats, scared ghost, an easy triangle face and a spider.

Or maybe you d like a design that's completely different, such as animals and faces of famous people or musicians. Some of them could be rather tricky to carve out, but it would be worth it to see the end result. You can view stencils such as this over at pumpkinglow.com.
