Snarling Bat Pumpkin Stencil

A wide-winged bat stretches nearly edge to edge in this easy bat pumpkin stencil, its wing panels divided by bold vein lines and a snarling cartoon face centered in the body. The wings are the large pierced areas that glow brightest, while the vein lines and the face details remain as solid orange strips inside the cutout. Carve the small pointed fangs in the face before tackling the big wing panels, so the blade has firm pumpkin wall support when making those fine cuts.

Cartoon Bat Pumpkin Stencil

A cartoon bat with a round face, large round eyes, tiny fangs, and dramatically swept wings stretched wide is caught in mid-flight on this easy bat pumpkin stencil. The wing spans reach almost to the pumpkin's edges and are cut through as large open areas, while the small round face with its eye circles and a smile-line grin stays solid at the center. Cut the big left wing first, then the right, before tackling the face ring; this order keeps the face island stable until the very end.

Cute Bat Pumpkin Stencil

A chubby cartoon bat with pointed ears, large round hollow eyes, a small open mouth with two fangs, and wide jagged wings spread in a V-shape makes up this friendly easy bat pumpkin stencil. The wings, eyes, and mouth are all pierced through, leaving the round body as a solid center island held by the wing-edge bridges. To keep the central body from drooping inward once the wings are cut, carve each wing in two halves and leave a thin skin tab at the wingtip notches until the very last cut.
