The creativity is announced here
First, press the selected template. If you use different parts from multiple templates, it is best to cut them out first. Place these on the pumpkin and fix it in place with adhesive tape. As an indication, use a felt-tip pen. A non-permanent pen can also be used. Of course, if you want to paint something on your pumpkin, you can do it without a template. But do not paint small holes, as these are not easy to see and difficult to carve.
Now comes the cutting
Here you need a sharp and stable saw blade. First, carefully cut out the large holes after the template. You can use angled cutting tool to cut out the nose. The details have to be worked out with the saw blade. So that your pumpkin remains stable. Leave the cut pieces still in the pumpkin until you cut out all the pieces. Only at the end can you remove the cut out elements from the pumpkin.
Put candles, tealights or fairy lights in the pumpkin
