10 Heart Pumpkin Carving Patterns

Explore 10 distinct heart pumpkin carving patterns from the stencil library.

1. Winged Heart Pumpkin Stencil
A large heart with feathered wings spread wide anchors this hard pumpkin stencil, with a scrolling banner ribbon below carrying decorative curl accents. The heart is kept solid as pumpkin flesh while the wing feather gaps and banner interior are cut through, creating a tattoo-style composition that glows with intricate layered detail. The individual feather separations along each wing are narrow and numerous; carve them starting at the outermost wingtip and working toward the heart so the wing stays attached to the body of the pumpkin longest.

2. Bat Heart Pumpkin Stencil
A large heart with two bat wings spread wide forms this simple pumpkin stencil: the entire shape is a single solid silhouette to be cut away as one connected piece, leaving a bold heart-with-wings opening in the pumpkin face. The pointed wing tips extend on each side and have small secondary notches along the trailing edges. Because the whole design is one cut, work around the heart curves first, then trace out each wing tip slowly so the narrow notches do not tear before the main body of the shape drops free.

3. Teddy Bear Pumpkin Stencil
A seated teddy bear with tattered, drip-edged fur fills this hard-level pumpkin stencil: a round head with small round ears, two circular cheek spots, a nose-and-muzzle cutout, and a tummy split into two glowing panels flanked by small round paws. The ragged fur silhouette along the top of the head and across the body creates dozens of short, jagged points that must stay connected. Work from the center facial features outward, and avoid pressing too hard on the bear's narrow fur-tip points so they do not snap before the larger belly sections are removed.

4. Broken Heart Pumpkin Stencil
A large broken heart split down the center by a jagged lightning-bolt crack is the entire design of this pumpkin stencil, with both halves pierced through so candlelight glows from the whole shape. The bold, smooth outlines on either side of the fracture read cleanly from across a porch. Carve the two outer heart sections first, then make the narrow zigzag cut last to keep the thin points of the crack from flexing and tearing while your saw is working nearby.

5. Cruise Ship Pumpkin Stencil
A large cruise ship viewed from a slight bow-angle fills this hard pumpkin stencil. Four tall rectangular smokestacks rise from the upper deck, the bridge superstructure runs along the top, and five circular portholes line the hull below the waterline. The design reads as a series of rectangular and circular cutouts separated by solid pumpkin strips. When lit, the port holes and superstructure windows glow individually like a ship at sea. Carve the five round portholes first since circular cuts benefit most from a fresh blade, then work upward through the rectangular deck openings.

6. Love Wins Pumpkin Stencil
A large bold heart dominates the design, split horizontally at its midpoint by a band of stencil text that reads "LOVE WINS" in thick block letters. The upper and lower halves of the heart are both pierced through, and the text band bridges the gap so the heart reads as one unified glowing shape when lit. Because the heart's two halves are each large open voids, carve them before the text strip; clearing the big areas first lets you see exactly how much wall support remains around the letter bridges.

7. Cartoon Monster Pumpkin Stencil
A stocky cartoon monster stands arms-up with a wide open mouth full of jagged teeth, crescent-shaped eyes beneath rectangular brow bars, and a shaggy body outline. The design uses a dense scatter of mid-size cutouts rather than one large opening, so the lit pumpkin shows the monster as a bright orange silhouette surrounded by black negative space. Carve the rectangular brow pieces and the two tiny crescent pupils first, since they are the smallest islands and easiest to pop out while the wall is still fully supported.

8. LOVE Pumpkin Stencil
Four tall serif capitals spell out "LOVE" in a single row, each letter sized to span the full height of the pumpkin face, with the word cut completely through so it glows solid when lit. The letterforms use clean, wide strokes with minimal internal bridges, making this one of the most legible word-carving pumpkin stencils in the set. Because the "O" and the interior counter of the "V" require small floating pumpkin islands, remove those internal pieces before fully clearing the surrounding letter to avoid them dropping out unexpectedly.

9. Heart Eyes Jack-o-Lantern Pumpkin Stencil
A classic jack-o-lantern face gets a romantic twist: two heart-shaped cutouts replace the usual triangle eyes, each framed by three curling eyelash strokes, above a wide crescent grin with three rectangular tooth gaps. The design is beginner-level with large, easy-to-cut openings and gentle curves throughout. Cut each heart eye from the inner point downward and around the lobes rather than starting at the curved top, which helps you keep the heart shape symmetrical on the pumpkin's curved surface.

10. Jack-o-Lantern Face Pumpkin Stencil
This cheerful pumpkin stencil depicts a pumpkin-within-a-pumpkin: a wide jack-o-lantern face with a curling stem at top, four vertical rib lines crossing the body, and a grinning mouth with curling lip ends and individual tooth segments, all cut as negative space on the outer pumpkin. The vertical rib lines are the thinnest elements, each only a slim channel of open space; carve them with a single guided stroke from stem to mouth to avoid a wavy line. A warm candle light inside makes the rib lines read as glowing stripes across the face.
