Easy

Basketball Seam Lines

This design turns the whole pumpkin front into a basketball by shaving the classic seam pattern into the skin: one vertical line, one horizontal line, and two curved side arcs. Nothing is cut through; the grooves alone read instantly as a ball, and the round pumpkin does the rest. It is an easy carve, so just score each line lightly with the stencil in place first, then widen the grooves to an even depth.

Easy

Basketball Pumpkin Stencil

A basketball pumpkin stencil showing the ball as a large circle divided by one vertical center line and two curving seam arcs, creating four large curved panel segments that are carved through as open glowing quarters. The vertical and curved seam lines remain solid, producing the classic basketball court-line pattern when lit. Because this is an easy design with only four large pieces to cut, keep the blade on the outer circle first, then trace each interior seam line precisely to maintain even-width bridge strips between the panels.
