(They work on real pumpkins too) I partnered with Sulky to show you how to use the Stick ‘n Carve sheets.

The Stick ‘n Carve sheets were so easy to work with. You can get them in 10 packs or in a bulk pack of 24. You only need 1 per pumpkin so if you are having a carving party….think 1 sheet per guest/pumpkin.
The sheets come plain and ready to be printed with any design you like. You will be printing on the texture side.
With each pack you get a code to download 10 different pumpkin carving patterns from Zombie Pumpkins!…for FREE!
I printed this traditional haunted house design on my inkjet printer.
I’m using a foam/fake pumpkin but these sheets work on real pumpkins too.
After printing, you will want to trim around your design leaving about a 1-inch border. Next, you peel the printed sheet from the backing sheet.
You will want to place the sheet on the flattest part of the pumpkin. The sheet is like a big sticker so it will just stick down.
Press and smooth the sheet with your fingers. You might need to pinch and gather the sheet over the curves.
Grab some carving tools.
Begin with the smaller shapes and carve on the printed lines.
Keep carving until the whole design is complete. Pop the pieces out or in…..don’t force them. Use the carving tools to loosen any parts that might be stuck. Then you will just peel the top layer of the paper off the pumpkin.
After you peel the top layer, run your pumpkin under water the “sticky” party will melt away and any carving dust will wash away.
I like to use battery candles to light the pumpkins. I would caution against using a real candle or flame. Glow sticks are also a fun to use. You can get them in different colors for a fun colored glowing effect.
Happy Halloween! Have fun carving pumpkins…and remember these foam pumpkins can be used year after year. Grab a set of Stick ‘n Carve sheets at Sulky>> https://sulky.com/stick-n-carve-valuepack-10-sheets
