The Perfect Pumpkin for Your Minion

Selecting the right pumpkin for your Minion involves consideration of size, shape, and condition. A larger, wider pumpkin provides more surface for detail, with a smoother exterior making for easier carving. Avoid overly lumpy or misshapen pumpkins, as they may hinder the stencil's application.
