15 Funny Pumpkin Templates

Explore 15 distinct funny pumpkin templates from the stencil library.

1. Jack-o-Lantern Face Pumpkin Stencil
A grinning jack-o-lantern face carved onto a jack-o-lantern makes this a pumpkin-within-a-pumpkin design: a wide ovoid pumpkin shape with a stubby stem has a furious face of angled triangular eyes, heavy brow cuts, and two rows of large zigzag teeth separated by a thick horizontal lip band. All the face features are cut through as open shapes. Carve the inner tooth gaps first, since they sit between two rows that span the widest open area, then release the eye triangles and brow cuts last to keep the upper face stable.

2. Silly Monster Pumpkin Stencil
A shaggy round monster with a small zigzag hair antenna on top, wide round eyes, a grinning row of rectangular teeth, and two outstretched hands with four or five digits fills this funny pumpkin stencil, with about eight to ten interior pierced slashes representing the fur texture along with the facial features and foot claws. The lit pumpkin reveals the entire creature in warm orange silhouette against a dark background. Cut the large central body void first, then work through each interior fur slash and claw detail, leaving the two floating hand cutouts for last.

3. Funny Monster Pumpkin Stencil
A round-bodied cartoon monster with an oversized fuzzy head, two large circular eyes, a wide fanged grin, spiky hair tufts, stubby arms raised to the sides, skinny stick legs, and round feet fills this pumpkin stencil. The creature's oval eye circles and the spaces between the arms and body are cut through, while the chunky body silhouette stays as solid orange skin. Carve the two circular eye openings and the small round nose dot at the top before cutting the body perimeter, so you can brace the knife against solid material.

4. Grinning Jack-o-Lantern Pumpkin Stencil
A grinning jack-o-lantern face carved within a jack-o-lantern stencil: a swirling curly stem at the top, two angled brow-cuts above a large square single-nostril eye, and a wide-open mouth whose upper lip forms a jagged row of sharp saw-tooth teeth with a single large central fang dropping from above. The mouth cavity is enormous relative to the face, giving the design its signature frenzied look. Cut the curl of the stem and the tiny eye detail first, then the saw-tooth teeth from the outer corners inward so the narrow points stay supported until the large mouth cavity is opened last.

5. Round Cartoon Monster Pumpkin Stencil
A small round cartoon monster occupies this pumpkin stencil: a chunky body with two large circular eyes, a frowning row of square teeth, a curly stem-like antenna on top, sideways horns, stubby arm appendages, and splayed feet all carved as separate islands of light. The design has many floating cut-through pieces spread across the face of the pumpkin. Start with the two circular eye holes since they are the most central reference points, then position the surrounding appendage cuts relative to them.

6. Jack-o-Lantern Face Pumpkin Stencil
A round jack-o-lantern face is carved within a jack-o-lantern, depicting a pumpkin-shaped head with a leering triangular eye, a jagged zig-zag mouth, and a bent stem on top, all surrounded by curling flame-like cuts along the exterior. The layered design creates an open-mouthed, angry pumpkin-face-within-a-pumpkin effect that reads as a bold silhouette when lit. Carve the curling outer flame cuts first, since they form the structural rim; leaving them for last risks cracking the thin outer edges after the interior is removed.

7. Devil Girl Pumpkin Stencil
A pin-up devil girl stencil shows a feminine face with two swept horns, one winking eye with full lashes, a smirking open mouth, crossed arms, and a small arrow-tipped tail curling up at the left side. The face features are rendered as solid islands floating within the larger pierced body and hair shapes. Carve the large hair and body outlines first to establish structure, then work inward to the eye and mouth detail; the tiny winking-eye slit is the most fragile cut and should be saved for last.

8. Imp Face Pumpkin Stencil
A front-facing imp face fills this hard pumpkin stencil with layered detail: two curved horns at the top, heavy arched brow pieces over wide flame-shaped eyes, pointed ear flares on each side, a snarling open mouth with jagged teeth, and a chin medallion with a forked tip. The design reads as mostly open negative space on the pumpkin, with the narrow brow bridges and the gaps between each tooth being the most fragile elements. Carve the teeth last and use a very sharp detail blade to keep each pointed gap clean without breaking the thin skin separating them.

9. One-Eyed Furry Monster Pumpkin Stencil
A round, furry one-eyed monster stands full-body on this hard pumpkin stencil: a small round head with two stubby antennae sits atop a wide spherical body edged with shaggy fur, two four-fingered hands extend to either side, and two thick legs end in rounded shoes at the bottom. The mouth is a wide toothy grin with individual tooth gaps cut into the lower body. Carve the large body outline first since the shaggy fur spikes are easier to cut when the surrounding pumpkin skin is still firm; save the small tooth gaps inside the grin for last.

10. 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.

11. One-Eyed Horned Monster Pumpkin Stencil
A squat, wide-bodied one-eyed monster fills this hard pumpkin stencil from head to toe: a large circular head that doubles as the body, a single giant eye at center made of three concentric rings with a crescent cut-out pupil, two small curved horns at the top, three-clawed hands on short arms at each side, and a wavy skirt-like bottom hem. The three concentric eye rings are connected by thin skin bridges and are the most fragile element; carve the outermost eye ring first and work inward, letting each ring dry slightly before cutting the next.

12. Witch Hat Jack-o-Lantern Pumpkin Stencil
A grinning jack-o-lantern face wearing a small pointed witch hat sits at the center of this easy funny pumpkin stencil. The face features two large crescent-shaped eyes with small round highlight dots inside each, a triangular nose, a wide upward-curving mouth with a center tooth drip, and wispy curl accents at the cheek corners. The hat brim and crown are solid while the eye crescents, nose, and mouth are cut through. Carve the two small round eye-highlight dots before removing the larger crescent eye shapes so those tiny circles stay intact and the eye reads with dimension when lit.

13. 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.

14. Classic Jack-o-Lantern Face Pumpkin Stencil
A tall, narrow jack-o-lantern face with a small witch-hat-style stem forms this easy pumpkin stencil, featuring two mismatched triangular eyes of slightly different sizes, a small triangle nose, and a wide mouth with uneven rectangular teeth below. The entire face outline tapers toward the bottom and the drooping curved tendrils at each lower corner add a melted look. All five facial openings cut cleanly through, letting candlelight pour out in a simple, instantly recognizable jack-o-lantern pattern. Carve the eyes first so you have reference points for spacing the mouth cuts.

15. Fuzzy Monster Pumpkin Stencil
A round, fuzzy cartoon monster with stubby arms and legs dominates this hard pumpkin stencil, set inside a large circular frame with small scattered cut-outs suggesting a speckled texture. The creature has crescent-shaped eyes, a wide open mouth rimmed with ragged teeth, and a tongue poking out, while splatter-like shapes burst from the sides. The monster's body is largely solid orange with the negative space around it carved out, so light escapes the outer circle and the scattered texture dots, keeping the face readable. Cut the circular outer border and the scatter dots before tackling the detailed mouth.
