10 Meme Pumpkin Cutouts

We curated 10 of the very best meme pumpkin cutouts so you can pick one and start carving in minutes.

1. Weary Face Emoji Pumpkin Stencil
The weary face emoji is recreated here as a jack-o-lantern pumpkin stencil: a large circular face outline holds two sets of drooping curved eyebrow-and-eyelid pairs that express exhaustion, a wide open mouth with squared-off upper teeth, and a small chin sweat drop below. All the interior shapes are cut through as separate pieces nested inside the face circle. Carve the tiny sweat drop below the chin first since it is isolated and easy to lose track of, then work upward through the teeth, mouth, and finally the eye arcs.

2. Surprised Emoji Pumpkin Stencil
The surprised face emoji is translated into a pumpkin stencil with wide round eyes, a furrowed brow, a small nose bump, and a large open oval mouth. The face disc is partially cut away around the perimeter leaving a crescent of solid pumpkin at the top and right side; the eyes are rings with solid centers, and the mouth is a solid oval pierce. When lit, the face glows with an expression of shock. Carve the ring-shaped eye borders carefully: cut the outer circle first, then the inner pupil circle, leaving the solid dot of pumpkin wall between them untouched to preserve the iris-ring detail.

3. Tears of Joy Emoji Pumpkin Stencil
This emoji pumpkin stencil captures the classic tears-of-joy face: a large circular outline frames squinting crescent eyes, a wide open-mouth smile, and two teardrop shapes streaming from the outer eye corners. Most of the interior is pierced through, leaving thin curved bridges for the eyes, brow shapes, and a tongue strip inside the mouth. When lit, the laughing face reads instantly from across a porch. Keep the two small teardrop cutouts for last, as they are isolated from the main body and can shift if the stencil loosens.

4. Screaming Emoji Pumpkin Stencil
The screaming face emoji is translated into this jack-o-lantern pumpkin stencil as a wide circular head with two large oval eyes, a rectangular open mouth, two small cheek shapes at the sides, and a row of drippy stalactite shapes hanging from the top of the head. All cut elements are bold and rounded with generous spacing between them, making the design beginner-friendly despite the number of pieces. Cut the small cheek ovals before the large eye ovals so they are supported by the intact surrounding flesh when the blade passes close.

5. See-No-Evil Monkey Pumpkin Stencil
The see-no-evil monkey emoji is rendered as a wide face with two large hands pressed over the eyes and two banana-shaped ears flaring out, with a broad smile, round nose dots, and small cheek details visible below the hands in this hard pumpkin stencil. The overlapping hand fingers create a dense grid of narrow cut channels across the upper half of the design. Work the individual finger slots from the center outward so each completed cut is braced by uncut pumpkin on at least one side.

6. ROFL Emoji Pumpkin Stencil
The rolling-on-the-floor laughing emoji face fills this pumpkin stencil as a large round circle with squeezed-shut eyes, a wide open grin, and a single tear of joy near one eye. The outer circle outline is pierced, the eye slashes are cut through, and the broad curved mouth is a large open section, so light floods through the whole composition at once. Because the outer ring has almost no solid wall around it, cut the eye slashes and teardrop first to establish interior reference points, then follow the outer circle last to avoid distorting the round shape prematurely.

7. Crying Emoji Pumpkin Stencil
The loudly crying face emoji is rendered as a large circular face with swooping hands pressed to the cheeks, closed scrunched eyes, and twin waterfalls of tears streaming down from the eyes to the chin. The circular outline is pierced through, and the face features are solid orange islands floating within the big cutout. When lit, the pumpkin stencil reads as an instantly recognizable emoji silhouette. The thin vertical tear-stream bridges are the most fragile part of this design; cut the large outer ring first and save the tear columns for last.

8. LOL Pumpkin Stencil
Three bold serif letters spell out "LOL" in a wide horizontal layout, each character sized to fill the pumpkin face from top to bottom. The letters are fully pierced through, so the finished jack-o-lantern reads the internet acronym in glowing orange against the night. Cut the interior counters of the "O" first, since those small oval shapes can crack if you clear the surrounding area before removing them.

9. Eggplant Emoji Pumpkin Stencil
The eggplant emoji pumpkin stencil renders the familiar purple vegetable as a bold curving silhouette: a smooth rounded body with a single teardrop highlight cutout near the lower right and a curved stem and leaf cap at the top, where a small swirling leaf is pierced through. The outline is a single connected void that wraps almost the entire pumpkin face. Cut the stem leaf curl first since it is the most intricate isolated shape, then remove the large body outline arc in sections to avoid flex cracking along the narrow top.

10. Poop Emoji Pumpkin Stencil
The classic poop emoji, a three-tiered swirl with two crescent eyes and a small curved smile, is rendered as a bold outline stencil in this easy funny pumpkin stencil, with the outer swirl shape and facial features all carved as open channels that leave the interior swirl body as solid glowing pumpkin skin. The two crescent eyes and the smile are the smallest cuts; carve them before outlining the full swirl body so you have a stable surface to press against. A candle inside makes the whole swirl glow warmly with the eyes and smile as darker recesses within the lit shape.
