Cactus Pumpkin Stencil
This cactus pumpkin is one of our easiest designs! All you have to do is transfer the design from our free printable stencil and carve away the indicated area, revealing a cactus silhouetted against a sunset. You can hollow out the pumpkin and place a light inside to make it glow from within, but it will last longer if you leave the gourd intact.
