15 Meme Pumpkin Printables
Explore 15 distinct meme pumpkin printables from the stencil library.
1. Plain Thumbs Up Relief

The classic thumbs-up hand, thumb raised high over four curled fingers, presented as a bold etched panel on the pumpkin's face. No holes are pierced; you shave the outer skin inside the hand outline so the pale flesh forms the gesture, leaving thin rind lines to separate the fingers. Keep the shaved depth even and stop at each finger line so the knuckle ridges stay dark and readable.

A giant thumbs-up hand bursting from a starburst of radiating lines, complete with a rolled sleeve cuff, four curled fingers, and a proudly raised thumb. The whole emblem is continuous-wall relief carving, sculpted in layered depths with no cut-through openings, so the hand looks almost three-dimensional. This expert design depends on smooth rounded knuckles: rough out the fist as one mass, then separate the fingers with deep V-grooves before final smoothing.

A big thumbs-up hand surrounded by six radiating burst lines, like a glowing seal of approval for every trick-or-treater. The hand itself is sculpted in relief with shaved shading across the knuckles and thumb, while the outline gap and ray lines are carved deeper so light halos the whole gesture. Rough in the hand shape shallow at first, then deepen the shadows between the fingers gradually to keep the knuckles reading clearly.
See template β4. Four-Tongue Flame

One big flame fills the face of the pumpkin, its four licking tongues tapering to sharp points just like the classic fire symbol. The entire flame is a single cut-through shape, so candlelight literally becomes the fire. This is an easy carve with only one piece to remove; poke the pattern deeply at each flame tip first, then saw from the rounded base upward so the narrow points come out clean instead of ragged.
See template β5. Tilted Laugh with Two Tears

This tilted laughing face leans hard to one side, with two squinted arrow eyes, a huge open grin, and a teardrop of joy flying off each corner. All the features cut fully through, and the diagonal tilt is what makes it read as the crying-laughing emoji everyone knows. It rates hard because the squint lines and tear droplets are small, so use a fine saw and drill-start each tiny opening before cutting.
See template β6. Game Over Pumpkin Stencil

"GAME OVER" fills this easy pumpkin stencil in two stacked rows of chunky 8-bit pixel font lettering, each character built from squared-off rectangular blocks with notched corners that read unmistakably as retro video game text. Every letter interior is cut through, and the negative space between characters is narrow but distinct. The squared notches at the corners of each letter are the trickiest spots to keep clean; use the tip of a narrow blade to score those inside corners before opening the main letter body.
See template β7. 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.
See template β8. 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.
See template β9. 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.
See template β10. 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.
See template β11. 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.
See template β12. Let's Go Brandon Pumpkin Stencil

The phrase "LET'S GO BRANDON" is set in chunky all-caps stencil lettering across two lines, with each letter built from thick strokes and bridged counters so the whole design holds together as a single carved piece. The letters are fully pierced, glowing bright when lit. Because the letter A and the two O's have floating internal islands, cut those counter shapes first before clearing the surrounding letter bodies to keep the islands from shifting.
See template β13. Loudly 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.
See template β14. 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.
See template β15. 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.
