How to carve an eccentric pumpkin with no special tools

This instructable will show you how anyone can carve a nice design on a pumpkin with absolutely no special tools! This design uses a stencil; many of which you can easily find on the internet. However, you don't need a stencil if you can't get one or want to do this without one.

Please be careful as this project uses knives. I am not liable for any injuries you acquire from doing this project.

Step 1 Tools and Requirements

The requirements are simple, all you need is:

A chopping board or something that you can cut on
A long knife (to cut the top open)
A shorter pointy knife (to carve your design and details)
A spoon (to scoop out the pumpkin's inside's)
A pumpkin (obviously)
Stencil (optional)
Sellotape (Only needed if you use a stencil)
