  1. 1. Wink and Five Rounded Gaps

    Wink and Five Rounded Gaps pumpkin carving stencil

    One eye is a jaunty upswept crescent wink while the other stays a wide triangle, set over a small diamond nose and a lopsided grin broken into five rounded gaps by chunky teeth. The eyes, nose, and mouth gaps are cut through, leaving the tooth shapes as attached skin between them. A medium carver should cut the five mouth gaps individually rather than one big mouth, which keeps every tooth solidly connected and the crooked smile intact.

  2. 2. Winking Seven-Tooth Grin

    Winking Seven-Tooth Grin pumpkin carving stencil

    A goofy winking jack-o'-lantern with one wide round eye, one squinting wink, a triangle nose, and an enormous grin broken up by a jumble of square and pointed teeth along both lips. Every feature is cut clean through so the mismatched expression beams from the whole face. At medium difficulty the mouth is the main event; cut the grin outline first, then shape each tooth individually, alternating sides so the lip strips stay supported.

  3. 3. Cyclops Eye and Five Teeth

    Cyclops Eye and Five Teeth pumpkin carving stencil

    A goofy cyclops with one giant round eye under a curly brow, a small triangle nose, freckle dots on each cheek, and a huge laughing mouth with five stubby teeth. The features are cut through, and the pupil stays in place as an attached tab hanging inside the enormous eye. That pupil bridge is the medium-level test; cut both sides of the tab before freeing the rest of the eye circle.

  4. 4. Wink and Barred Square Grin

    Wink and Barred Square Grin pumpkin carving stencil

    One huge round eye stares while the other squeezes into a curled wink above a giant open grin packed with blocky square teeth, and freckle dots sprinkle each cheek. The eyes, mouth, and freckles all cut through the wall, with skin bridges left in place to form the teeth. Cut the mouth's outer outline first, then remove the gaps between teeth one at a time so each block stays anchored.

  5. 5. Oval Eyes and Eight Cheek Dots

    Oval Eyes and Eight Cheek Dots pumpkin carving stencil

    Big oval eyes sit under arched brows above a round button nose and a broad smile showing four blunt square teeth, with four freckle dots sprinkled on each cheek. The eyes, brows, nose, mouth, and dots are pierced through while the tooth bridges stay connected. Poke the eight small cheek dots first, then cut the large features, leaving the tooth bars until the end so they keep support.

  6. 6. Curved Horns and Diamond Chin

    Curved Horns and Diamond Chin pumpkin carving stencil

    A devilish face with two curved horns sprouting from the brow, narrow slanted eyes glaring beneath them, a wide grin studded with square teeth, and a diamond goatee stamped under the chin. Every piece is cut through so the whole sinister face burns bright. A medium carve with lots of payoff; cut the horn tips slowly since their curved points are the thinnest cuts, and finish with the easy diamond chin.

  7. 7. Barred Eyes and Cheek Tears

    Barred Eyes and Cheek Tears pumpkin carving stencil

    A goofy clown face with big round eyes crossed by horizontal rind bars, teardrop shapes dangling from each cheek, a button nose, and a huge grin with three chunky teeth. The eyes, tears, nose, and mouth are all cut through, while the eye bars and teeth stay as attached rind bridges. Those bars make it a medium carve: cut each eye as an upper and lower opening on either side of the bar, supporting the bridge with a finger as you finish the strokes.

  8. 8. Three Eyes and Four Teeth

    Three Eyes and Four Teeth pumpkin carving stencil

    Three round eyes of different sizes line up above a small rectangular nose and a wavy grin broken by four square teeth, giving this mutant jack-o'-lantern a delightfully goofy personality. The eyes, nose, and mouth are all cut through, with the teeth left as tabs, and tiny freckle dots may be etched shallow on the cheeks. A medium carve mainly for tooth care; cut into the grin from between the teeth so each square tab keeps its corners.

  9. 9. Almond Eyes and Seven Teeth

    Almond Eyes and Seven Teeth pumpkin carving stencil

    A wide, low jack-o'-lantern face with sly almond-shaped eyes, a small triangle nose, and a long jagged mouth packed with alternating square teeth top and bottom. Everything is pierced through, and the horizontal layout suits squat, wide pumpkins. At medium difficulty the tooth row is the main work; cut the mouth's outer outline first, then remove the gaps between teeth one at a time so each block keeps support while you work.

  10. 10. Tall Smile and Six Cheek Dots

    Tall Smile and Six Cheek Dots pumpkin carving stencil

    A tall pumpkin design with arched happy eyes, an oval nose, three dot freckles on each cheek, and a huge open smile with four little teeth hanging from the top lip. Every shape is cut through, and the six small cheek dots add a sprinkle of glowing freckles around the grin. Punch the freckle dots with an apple corer or drill bit before opening the big mouth.
