This Halloween turn your pumpkin into an amazing wildlife-inspired work of art using one of CWF’s carving templates. Choose from a spooky spider, boo-tiful bat, a howling wolf or our very own mascot.

It’s easy to use one of CWF’s templates to carve a cutting-edge Jack-o’-lantern, just follow these simple instructions.

Cut a hole in your pumpkin on the top, big enough to get your hand in there.
Scoop out all the stuff in the pumpkin — this part is messy so have fun!
Pin or tape your template/pattern to your pumpkin.
Use an awl or pen to poke small holes along the black edge of the shape.
Remove the paper and, using a knife, cut along the small holes you made.
Drop a flashlight in your pumpkin and take a look in the dark!
Take a picture and upload it below!

After creating the spookiest, most unique Jack o’ Lantern on the street, why not create a snack the whole family can enjoy with this recipe for roasted pumpkin seeds.
