A classic Halloween symbol is the mummy. As such, mummies can be a fun option when you are considering what to carve on your Halloween pumpkin this year. You can find stencils of the classic figures online.
Scary option: For example, the website Zombie Pumpkins offers a scary-looking mummy pattern called “Sandy Gauze” to its members. Their design is of wrapped head. “Sandy Gauze” is considered to be a moderate carving challenge. It costs $2 to become a member of the website. Once you are a member, you can download and print out the Sandy Gauze design from your home computer.
Cute option: Another website where you can find a mummy stencil is Stoneykins. They have a very cute full-body design of the classic Halloween figure that is new for 2011. In order to use it, you have purchase credits first.
Kid-Friendly option: If you are looking for a free mummy stencil, you can find a free one on the Hershey’s website of intermediate carving difficulty. Their pattern is of a wrapped head and is happy-looking. This one would be a good choice if you are planning to carve with a child.
Fun option: Ultimate Pumpkin Stencils also has a mummy pattern. Their design is the upper half of the wrapped figure and appears to have its arms reaching out. It currently costs one dollar for those who would like to use it.
Free option: Another free pattern can be downloaded from the Pumpkin Pile website. They have two free designs. One is of the figure walking and the other is just of its head.
