10 Cool Fall Pumpkin Printables

Explore 10 distinct cool fall pumpkin printables from the stencil library.

1. Leaf Columns and Diamond Rows
Designed for tall, elongated pumpkins, this pattern runs two columns of paired leaf openings up the sides with a ladder of small diamonds climbing the center strip between them. Every leaf and diamond is cut through, turning the whole pumpkin into a glowing botanical lantern. Work from the bottom rows upward so the shell above stays strong while you carve, and keep the leaf pairs level with each other as you go.

2. Eight Petals and Three Seeds
Eight oval petals radiate from a dotted center like a stylized sunflower, with three small seed holes in the middle and a leafy stem opening anchoring the bloom below. Each petal is a pierced oval, and the skin spokes left between them hold the flower together while letting light pour through. Cut opposite petals in pairs, top then bottom, left then right, so the spokes never take uneven strain.

3. Two Hoofprints and an Oak Leaf
Two split deer hoofprints, each with a pair of dewclaw dots beneath, share the pumpkin with a lobed oak leaf and a few scattered accent dots for a woodsy, cabin-porch feel. Every track, dot, and the leaf is fully cut through with plenty of solid skin between elements. It is a comfortable medium carve; poke a starter hole in each small dot and cut those first, since tiny circles are easiest while the surrounding wall is still rigid.

4. Bee with Three Raw Stripes
A friendly bumblebee spreads four scalloped wings wide, with a round head, curled antennae, and a plump body banded by three raw stripes. This is a shading design with no pierced holes: the wings, head, and body stripes are shaved down to pale flesh while strips of dark skin form the outlines and bands. Shave the big wing panels first, then refine the narrow antennae with a small gouge.

5. Sunflower with Eleven Petals
A tall sunflower blooms across the whole pumpkin face, with eleven glowing petals radiating around a dark seed disc dotted with tiny pinprick holes, plus a straight stem and two leaves below. The petals, stem, and leaves are shaved to the flesh rather than pierced, while the seed dots are drilled through for sparkle. For this medium shading design, etch all the petal outlines first, then peel each petal evenly and finish by drilling the seed dots in a loose spiral.

6. Eight Petals with Leaf Pair
Eight almond-shaped petals radiate around a solid center in this graceful flower design, with a pair of pointed leaves below and small accent holes dotting each side like falling seeds. All the petals, leaves, and dots are pierced through while the round flower center stays intact, held by the uncut spokes between petals. For this medium carve, cut opposite petals in pairs as you work around the circle so pressure stays balanced and the center never loosens.

7. Fifteen Sweeping Almond Leaves
Fifteen almond-shaped leaves sweep upward in two mirrored arcs, curving around the pumpkin's face like a laurel wreath opening toward the stem. Each leaf is cut fully through, so the whole design becomes an elegant pierced lantern with no face at all. Alternate sides as you cut, removing one leaf on the left and then its mirror on the right, to keep the wall's strength balanced throughout.

8. Three Mushrooms and Four Dots
Three toadstool mushrooms of staggered heights cluster at the base of a tall pumpkin, with four round dots floating above them like drifting spores. The mushroom caps, stems, and dots are all cut fully through, so the whole woodland scene glows as connected pools of light. For this medium carve, cut the two small side mushrooms first to warm up, then tackle the big center cap; leave the narrow stem-to-cap junctions until your final passes.

9. Two Unequal Oak Leaves
Two oak leaves of different sizes drift diagonally across the pumpkin, their lobed edges captured in crisp detail. Both leaves are cut fully through the wall, so each one glows like a lantern-lit leaf caught mid-fall. This medium design's challenge is the wavy lobed outline, so use a fine-tooth saw and pivot at every lobe notch, removing each leaf in two or three pieces instead of forcing out one large chunk.

10. Three Maple Leaves and Dots
Three maple leaves drift diagonally down the pumpkin, each one cut fully through with its stem, and small round holes scattered between them like floating seeds. The pierced leaves throw crisp, recognizable maple silhouettes of light, making this a lovely all-autumn design rather than a strictly Halloween one. Saw each leaf point from the tip inward and remove the waste in sections so the notched edges stay sharp.
