"You&nbsp;can tell Whataburger is a brand that really enjoys being Whataburger."</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>Horesh and Mikoll, who share a love of nostalgia and vintage, wanted to start a business creating&nbsp;authentic wool felt pennants. But in their</span></span></span></span></span></span></span>&nbsp;<span><span><span><span><span><span><span>search for a&nbsp;manufacturer,&nbsp;they realized there wasn't a manufacturer in the United States making old-school wool felt products.

The social media&nbsp;</span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>shares and follows started growing, and so did the opportunities. J. Crew, Adidas, Willie Nelson, Wilco, Harley Davidson, and even the Kennedy Center have come calling.

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>This Halloween, make memories with friends and family</strong> by throwing your very own Whataburger pumpkin carving party.</p>

<p>To get you started, we&rsquo;ve created seven official Whataburger pumpkin carving stencils.</p>

<p>You need:</p>

<ul>
<li>The official Whataburger Pumpkin Carving Stencils, which can be downloaded below</li>
<li>Pumpkins</li>
<li>Pumpkin carving tools, including a sharp knife and an awl/poker</li>
<li>Scotch tape</li>
<li>A clear workspace, a trash bin, and&nbsp;a large pan for seeds if you want to roast them</li>
<li>Lots of Whataburger! Because what&rsquo;s a Whataburger pumpkin carving party without it?</li>
</ul><h3>Step 1: Prepare your pumpkin</h3><p><span>With all your supplies laid out, cut a hole in the top of your pumpkin and clear out all the flesh and seeds. You may choose to toss all of the &ldquo;guts&rdquo; of the pumpkin. Or, you can wash the seeds, spread them on a baking sheet, drizzle them in oil, and then toast them in the oven at 325 degrees for 45 minutes for a snack when all the fries are gone.</span></p><p><img alt="" src="//content.presspage.com/uploads/1924/500_pumkincarving-2.jpg?x=1506456148466" style="margin: 5px; width: 500px; height: 333px;" /></p><h3>Step 2: Set your stencil</h3><p><span>Next tape your Whataburger Stencil of choice on the pumpkin. Begin poking holes around the stencil with a pumpkin-poking tool or awl to create an outline of your design.</span></p><p><img alt="" src="//content.presspage.com/uploads/1924/500_pumkincarving-4.jpg?x=1506456167830" style="margin: 5px; width: 500px; height: 333px;" /></p><h3>Step 3: Start slashing! (or carving)</h3><p><span>Remove the stencil. Carve out the design by following the dots with a sharp knife. Be careful!</span></p><p><img alt="" src="//content.presspage.com/uploads/1924/500_pumkincarving-5.jpg?x=1506456183915" style="margin: 5px; width: 500px; height: 333px;" /></p><h3>Step 4: Light and enjoy!</h3><p><span>Finish up your design, drop in a candle, and go ahead and glow with pride. Your Whataburger pumpkin is perfect for any Halloween gathering. Meow.</span></p><p><img alt="" src="//content.presspage.com/uploads/1924/800_pumpkins2018-3.jpg?x=1538425181900" style="margin: 5px; width: 500px; height: 500px; float: left;" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Click the stencils below to download.</p>]]></content:encoded><category><![CDATA[life,latestnews,stencils,pumpkins,jack o lantern,halloween,pumpkin stencils,pumpkin carving,carving pumpkins,social media,DIY]]></category>
