10 Space Pumpkin Printables

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

  1. 1. Flying Saucer Pumpkin Stencil

    Flying Saucer Pumpkin Stencil pumpkin carving stencil

    A flying saucer in classic 1950s style beams down a tractor ray in this pumpkin stencil, featuring a domed disc with a small fin on top, a row of oval porthole cuts across the hull, a central undercarriage dome, and a wide triangular tractor beam with three internal vertical ribs extending down to a landing ellipse. The portholes, beam sections, and surrounding sky area are pierced through. Carve the small oval portholes along the saucer rim first to keep the disc structure stable before opening the large tractor beam below.

  2. 2. Flying Saucer Pumpkin Stencil

    A classic flying saucer seen from a three-quarter angle fills this hard space pumpkin stencil. The domed cockpit on top, the wide flat disc with a raised rim, three small round indicator lights on the underside, and three diverging tractor-beam rays below all read clearly as carved shapes. The beam rays are solid pumpkin strips between large open triangular cutouts, so lit from inside the beam glows as three bright triangular shafts pointing downward. Carve the three beam triangles first since they are the largest open areas, then work upward through the disc details and finish with the small circular indicator lights.

  3. 3. Bat and Moon Pumpkin Stencil

    Bat and Moon Pumpkin Stencil pumpkin carving stencil

    A crescent moon curves across the upper half of the design with a small bat silhouette flying in front of it, both cut through as a single pumpkin stencil. The crescent is a wide sweeping arc and the bat sits slightly below center within the curve, its wings spread and ears pointed. The bat's body stays connected to the moon's surface by a thin shared border; carve the crescent first and leave the bat's outer wing edges touching the moon arc so the bat doesn't shift before you finish the interior.

  4. 4. Alien Face Pumpkin Stencil

    Alien Face Pumpkin Stencil pumpkin carving stencil

    An alien face with a wide oval cranium fills this pumpkin stencil, featuring two large bulging almond-shaped eyes with small hooked inner corners, a two-dot nose, a curved smile, and a rounded forehead band rendered as arcing cut-through lines. The eye shapes and facial features are each separate pierces, while the outer oval head outline is also cut away, framing everything in open light. The narrow forehead arc is the most fragile element, so score it fully before pushing through to avoid it snapping midway.

  5. 5. Crescent Moon Pumpkin Stencil

    Crescent Moon Pumpkin Stencil pumpkin carving stencil

    A crescent moon shape faces left, its body filled with a texture of small irregular cut-out marks that suggest the pitted surface of the moon, while a faint face profile is visible along the inner curve of the crescent. The large crescent itself is the main pierced shape, and the small interior texture dots pepper the body, creating a glowing stippled effect when lit from inside. To keep the many small interior marks from causing the crescent body to crumble, carve the outer crescent boundary first, then pick out the texture dots from largest to smallest using a small round drill bit or detail blade.

  6. 6. Alien Face Pumpkin Stencil

    Alien Face Pumpkin Stencil pumpkin carving stencil

    An alien face with oversized teardrop eyes, a broad domed cranium, and subtle nostril and lip details fills this space pumpkin stencil as a single large cut-out with internal skin bridges defining the facial features. The large eyes are open negative spaces separated from the head background by thin arching brow ridges, which are easily the most fragile element. Carve the outer head silhouette first, then remove the large eye areas, keeping the blade tight against the brow-ridge boundary to preserve that thin curved strip of pumpkin skin.

  7. 7. Rocket Ship Pumpkin Stencil

    Rocket Ship Pumpkin Stencil pumpkin carving stencil

    A retro rocket ship blasts off inside a circular porthole frame in this space pumpkin stencil. The rocket has a pointed nose cone, a round porthole window on its body, swept-back tail fins, and a fan of exhaust flames spreading beneath it, all set within a large open circular border. The rocket body and circle frame remain as solid pumpkin skin while the background inside the circle, the fin gaps, and the flame tongues are cut through. Cut the narrow gaps between the individual flame tongues first so the lower rocket structure stays intact before the large circular background is removed.

  8. 8. Alien Pumpkin Stencil

    Alien Pumpkin Stencil pumpkin carving stencil

    An extraterrestrial figure with an oversized oval head, large almond-shaped eyes, delicate facial features, and a lean torso covered in fine ribbed line-work fills this expert-level pumpkin stencil. The alien holds up one three-fingered hand in a peace sign, and the entire upper head is decorated with small curved slash marks suggesting brain-like texture. Each fine interior line across the torso and head must be cut precisely to retain the many thin bridges that keep the design from collapsing. Cut the small curved head-texture marks first before any large area is removed, as they rely on a full wall for support.

  9. 9. Crescent Moon and Star Pumpkin Stencil

    Crescent Moon and Star Pumpkin Stencil pumpkin carving stencil

    A large crescent moon curves across most of the design while a single five-pointed star sits nestled in the open interior of the crescent in this easy space pumpkin stencil, both shapes carved as open silhouettes. The crescent is a large single cut, and the small star inside it is a separate isolated piece that must be removed independently. Cut the star's five points with precise plunge cuts at each tip before slicing the connecting straight sides, then remove the star before carving the surrounding crescent so your hand has room to maneuver.

  10. 10. Moon and Stars Pumpkin Stencil

    Moon and Stars Pumpkin Stencil pumpkin carving stencil

    A slim crescent moon curves on the left side of this space pumpkin stencil while seven five-pointed stars of varying sizes are scattered across the open field to its right, all shapes cut through as separate glowing elements. The smallest stars are only an inch or so across and sit as isolated islands on the pumpkin face; carve those tiny stars first with a craft knife tip or small saw while the wall is at full stiffness, then remove the larger crescent and remaining stars in order from smallest to largest.
