			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our <a title="Disney Pumpkin Stencils" href="http://www.cartoonjr.com/pumpkin-stencils-disney-pumpkin-carving-patterns/">Disney pumpkin stencils</a> and our <a title="Scary Pumpkin Stencils" href="http://www.fantasyjr.com/scary-pumpkin-stencils/">scary pumpkin stencils</a> have been a big hit in the past, so we&#8217;ve created 6 more original pumpkin stencils found only on Fantasy Jr.! These pumpkin stencils are a little more silly and fun, and are also making it very difficult for me to choose what to carve this year on our own pumpkin!</p>
<p><a title="Halloween Activities from the Woo! Jr. Network" href="http://www.woojr.com/halloween/">Halloween</a> is <em>huge </em>around here, so be sure to check out all of our <a title="Halloween Coloring Pages from Fantasy Jr." href="../category/printable-coloring-pages/halloween-coloring-pages-printable-coloring-pages/">Halloween coloring pages</a>, <a title="Halloween Crafts for Kids" href="http://www.craftjr.com/category/halloween-crafts/">Halloween Crafts</a>, and <a title="Halloween Rice Krispie Treats" rel="bookmark" href="http://www.craftjr.com/halloween-rice-krispie-treats/">Halloween Rice Krispie Treats</a>.</p>

<h3>How to Transfer Pumpkin Stencils</h3>
<p>Make sure you choose a stencil that matches the overall shape of your pumpkin. Choose taller carving designs for tall pumpkins, wider carving designs for short and fat pumpkins.</p>
<p>Print out the pumpkin stencils and make sure they will fit. If it is too small or too large, use your browserâ€™s â€œPrint Previewâ€ setting and experiment with printing out the stencils at different percentage scales.</p>
<p>Temporarily tape the stencil to your pumpkin, then use the tip of a nail to outline the black areas by poking holes through the paper into the skin of the pumpkin. Remove the paper and you have the outline of the stencil left on the pumpkin to carve</p>
<p>Use a very sharp knife to cut out the black areas along the lines you transferred. Using a narrow, strong knife really does make pumpkin carving a ton easier. Amazon also sells <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001FSKDGM?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=woo05-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B001FSKDGM">pumpkin carving tool sets</a><img style="border: medium none  ! important; margin: 0px ! important;" title="Scary Pumpkin Stencils" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=woo05-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B001FSKDGM" border="0" alt=" Scary Pumpkin Stencils" width="1" height="1" /> and Dremel even has a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002V3CNO?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=woo05-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B0002V3CNO">power pumpkin carver</a> <img style="border: medium none  ! important; margin: 0px ! important;" title="Scary Pumpkin Stencils" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=woo05-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B0002V3CNO" border="0" alt=" Scary Pumpkin Stencils" width="1" height="1" />for extreme pumpkin carvers (like I will be this year!).</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Four scary pumpkin stencils for Halloween of a wolf, an evil angel, a gremlin and a grimacing monster.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I think I have found a new love of drawing pumpkin stencils. I&#8217;ve spent the last week drawing up nearly 20 of them, and the worst part about it is that there is no way I&#8217;m going to be able to carve that many pumpkins once Halloween comes! If I had to choose one pumpkin stencil from the scary stencils below, I think it would have to be the wolf. Or maybe the evil angel. Or maybe both!</p>
