Pumpkin Carving Kit Instructions
The Dremel Pumpkin Carving Kit comes with 10
templates included, so you can start carving right
away! Or you can find hundreds of additional
templates available wherever pumpkin carving
supplies are sold. A great source for free
templates is on the internet. You can easily create
your own templates as well! Any image you can
trace, you can use as a template. You can even
take a picture of your favorite person or thing, scan
it into a photo-editing program, and convert it to
black & white. There are many websites that pro-
vide free templates or instructions how to
create your own templates. Use an internet search
engine and type in ‘Pumpkin Carving with Dremel’
or ‘Pumpkin Carving Templates’.
Important Note: The Dremel Pumpkin Carving Kit
should be used to “carve” layers of skin away from
your pumpkin so that light will “glow” through the
pumpkin.
You do not cut all the way through the
pumpkin.
1. Use a knife to cut a lid for your pumpkin. Angle
the knife towards the center of the pumpkin as you
cut so that the lid will rest on top of the pumpkin
after the cut has been made.
2. Use a large spoon to clean out the entire inside
of the pumpkin. It is best if the walls of your
pumpkin are approximately 1/4”-1/2” thick.
3. Based on the size of your pumpkin, you can
enlarge or reduce the size of your template using a
copy machine if needed.
4. Using spray-on adhesive, apply your template to
the pumpkin.
5. Turn the tool on LOW and begin tracing the
areas to be removed.
6. You can use the HIGH setting for large area
material removal.
7. The key is to remove approximately the same
amount of material on your whole pumpkin to
achieve a uniform depth.
8. Once you’ve finished, remove the paper
template, place a light source, such as a candle, in
the pumpkin, dim the lights, and see how well the
light shines through your carving.
9. If you want more light to shine through, turn the
lights back on, remove the candle, and remove
additional material from your pumpkin.
