Pumpkin carving sure has come a long way since I was a kid. Gone are the days of hacking up a pumpkin to get any sort of scary face — now it’s all about style!
Many companies now produce and sell kits that include stencils, scoops and specialized knives to create fancy carved pumpkins, and Better Homes & Gardens has thrown their hat in the ring with a very specific theme for your Halloween pumpkin — dog breeds!
The free, download-able templates feature 13 dog breeds including beagles, boxers, bulldogs, chihuahuas, dachshunds, German shepherds, golden retrievers, Jack Russel terriers, Labrador retrievers, poodles, pugs, Scottish terriers, and Yorkshire terriers.
Simply print out the stencil, center and attach it over a clean, dry, hollowed-out pumpkin, and mark out the lines by making pin pricks through the paper into the pumpkin. Remove the paper and carve out through the solid lines, and just peel at the areas marked by dotted lines.
The finished product is a cute, non-scary Howl-oween decoration that even your four-legged family members can be proud of!
