Twenty-Two Ray Smiling Sun

A beaming sunburst face with closed happy crescent eyes, a small triangle nose, and a huge picket-tooth grin, all encircled by a radiating ring of alternating teardrop and triangle ray cutouts. Every ray, tooth gap, and feature pierces through, and the sheer count of small openings makes it an expert carve. Cut the outer rays in sequence around the circle first, rotating the pumpkin as you go, before opening the large mouth.

Hanging Pupils and Eight Bays

An elaborate theatrical face with knowing eyes whose pupils hang from the upper lids, framed by ornate teardrop flourishes across the brow and temples, above a huge grin packed with long individual teeth. Dozens of small cut-through openings build the pattern, with slim rind bridges holding every tooth and swirl in place. Number your openings and remove the smallest flourishes first, saving the big mouth bays for last so the web of bridges keeps its strength.

Sorrow Brows and Falling Tears

A theatrically miserable face with layered droopy brow wrinkles stacked like ribs above two barred, half-lidded eyes, a long drooping nose, and a deep striped frown, all surrounded by cascading columns of teardrops. Every wrinkle, bar, and tear is cut through, creating an ornate pattern of dozens of small openings. This expert carve is all about sequence: work from the center outward and leave the fragile tear columns at the edges for last.

Star Border and Heart Cheeks

A sweet kawaii face with big lashed eyes, heart cheeks, and a tiny smile sits inside a lavish border of stars, hearts, teardrops, and dots that rings the whole pumpkin front. Every one of those dozens of little shapes is pierced through, which is what earns the expert rating despite the friendly look. Carve the face first while the wall is strongest, then work the border outward in sections, resting between rounds.

Double Bars and Zigzag Teeth

An elaborate jack-o'-lantern face built from layered geometry: triangle eyes barred with double rind strips, arched claw-like brows, diamond accents down the cheeks, and a wide zigzag mouth of interlocking teeth flanked by curling flame flourishes. The many openings are cut through around a lattice of thin surviving rind. This expert design demands a sharp fine-tooth saw and a plan: cut from the center outward, finishing the outer flourishes last while the wall is still strong.

Petal Border and Button Nose

A whimsical folk-art face with pupil-in-eye ovals, arched lash brows, a button nose, and a scalloped grin full of rounded teeth, all surrounded by a lush border of petals, leaves, and teardrops. Dozens of small openings cut through, which is what earns the expert rating despite the friendly look. Work from the center of the face outward to the border so early cuts never weaken the wall around later ones.

Triangle Ring and Jagged Grin

An ornate expert-level face framed by a full ring of small triangle cutouts circling the pumpkin, with chevron-crested brows, barred flame-shaped eyes, a diamond nose, and a huge jagged grin holding fourteen zigzag teeth. Everything pierces through, so the finished lantern sparkles from every angle like carved lace. Plan your order: punch the border triangles first while the wall is rigid, then work inward, saving the long fragile grin for the very end.
