A closer look at this pattern

What to cut. What to keep.

Follow these shapes

Trace the two tilted eyes, triangle nose and curved mouth. The dark mouth bends around the two light fang shapes along its upper edge.

Leave these areas connected

Keep both fangs connected at their bases to the shell above the grin. Their pointed tips are retained pumpkin, not two extra holes to cut out.

Fit this design to your pumpkin

Compare the fang bases on the actual-size print before transferring. If the face has to be shrunk to fit, choose a toothless smile instead of squeezing these points into a smaller area.

Print width: 140–185 mm. Check the whole print against your pumpkin before transferring; this range does not guarantee the design will be easy to carve.
