10 Popular Happy Halloween Pumpkin Printables

We curated 10 of the very best popular happy halloween pumpkin printables so you can pick one and start carving in minutes.

  1. 1. Witch on a Left-Brushed Broom

    Witch on a Left-Brushed Broom pumpkin carving stencil

    A witch in a pointed hat rides her broom across the pumpkin, cloak trailing and broom bristles brushed out to the left as one bold glowing silhouette. The entire figure is cut through as a single connected opening, so the drama comes from the outline rather than fine interior detail. For this medium carve, start with the big body mass and work outward, cutting the hat point and individual bristle tips last so the surrounding rind supports your blade the whole way.

  2. 2. Ghost with Three Uneven Points

    Ghost with Three Uneven Points pumpkin carving stencil

    A single billowy ghost with two raised arms and a wavy hem ending in three uneven points, carved as one big glowing cutout. The entire ghost silhouette is pierced through, so candlelight fills the friendly specter from arms to tail. This easy one-piece design suits squat pumpkins with plenty of front surface; cut the smooth outer curves first and finish with the scalloped bottom points, which are the only fiddly bits.

  3. 3. Bent Hat with Nine Sparkles

    Bent Hat with Nine Sparkles pumpkin carving stencil

    A tall witch hat with a jauntily bent tip glows from the pumpkin, its wide oval brim carved as a separate opening beneath the crown so the solid hatband reads as a dark stripe between them. Around the hat, small circles and diamonds sparkle like scattered magic. This medium design hinges on that hatband bridge; cut the crown and brim as two independent openings and never saw across the band, then finish with the little sparkle shapes using a drill and detail knife.

  4. 4. Crescent Seven Stars Six Dots

    Crescent Seven Stars Six Dots pumpkin carving stencil

    A large crescent moon glows at the left while seven chunky five-point stars and six round dots scatter across the rest of the pumpkin like a full night sky. Every moon, star, and dot is pierced through, so the whole surface twinkles when lit. Space your cuts out as you go, alternating sides of the pumpkin, so the wall keeps its strength until the final star is freed.

  5. 5. Bent Crown and Broad Brim

    Bent Crown and Broad Brim pumpkin carving stencil

    A classic witch hat fills the pumpkin face, its tall crown bending over at the tip above a broad, gently curved brim. The whole hat is removed as one pierced piece, making a big bright silhouette with no interior details to fuss over. As an easy single-cut design, just keep your blade angled slightly inward as you saw so the large panel pulls free without wedging.

  6. 6. Rising Bat and Four Stars

    Rising Bat and Four Stars pumpkin carving stencil

    A bold bat rises with scalloped wings spread wide while four small stars twinkle around it. The bat and every star are cut completely through the wall, turning the pumpkin into a glowing night-sky scene. The bat is one large connected opening, so it carves fast; poke a starter hole in the middle of the body and saw outward toward the wing scallops, finishing the little stars last.

  7. 7. Triangle Eyes and Twin Teeth

    Triangle Eyes and Twin Teeth pumpkin carving stencil

    The timeless jack-o'-lantern: two bold triangle eyes, a matching triangle nose, and a wide friendly smile with two square teeth breaking the curve. Every feature is cut fully through, leaving the rest of the pumpkin smooth so the glowing shapes do the talking. Straight lines make this an ideal easy carve; score the triangles with a ruler edge first and the cuts will fall right in place.

  8. 8. Reverse BOO Block Letters

    Reverse BOO Block Letters pumpkin carving stencil

    The word BOO in fat block letters fills the front of the pumpkin, carved in reverse relief: the background panel is shaved away while the letters remain raised in untouched skin. No holes are pierced, so the pumpkin stays sturdy and reads clearly by daylight or candlelight. An easy etch for a first shading project; trace the letter outlines with shallow score cuts before peeling the background to an even depth.

  9. 9. Uneven Eyes and Five Teeth

    Uneven Eyes and Five Teeth pumpkin carving stencil

    A mischievous jack-o'-lantern with deliberately uneven eyes under slanted brows, a triangle nose, and a huge crooked grin interrupted by five hanging teeth. All the features are pierced clean through so candlelight pours out of every gap. The teeth are the trickiest part at this medium level, so cut around each one slowly and leave those tabs attached to the rim of the mouth.

  10. 10. Spooky Text Pumpkin Stencil

    Spooky Text Pumpkin Stencil pumpkin carving stencil

    The word "Spooky" is carved in bold bubbly lettering with each letter outlined as a cut-through shape on this Halloween pumpkin stencil. The two O's feature skull-like eye holes inside them, and drip lines hang from the letters below. Curling ribbon flourishes arc above and below the text, all pierced through. Lit from inside, the letters glow with dark gaps forming the decorative interior details. Take care to preserve the thin drip connections between letters, as those links keep each letter floating in place on the pumpkin wall.
