Hard

Barred Eyes and Serrated Grin

This wicked traditional face stacks barred triangle eyes with heavy slanted brows above a huge serrated grin, then flanks the mouth with rows of small wedge and diamond accents across both cheeks. Everything is cut through, and the eye bars are thin strips of shell left inside each triangle. Cut on both sides of each eye bar before removing the surrounding pieces, and save the tiny cheek diamonds for last.

Hard

Angular Mask and Eight Slits

This menacing bony mask glares through huge slanted eye sockets, flares a split skeletal nose, and bares a wall of long vertical teeth framed by curved fangs at each corner, with angular temple slashes radiating from the sides. The sockets, nostrils, tooth gaps, and slash marks are all cut through, leaving thin ribs of skin as the teeth. Hard-level advice: carve the eight narrow tooth slits with a fine blade and leave the outer fangs until the very end.

Hard

Wrinkled Eyes and Uneven Teeth

A mischievous scowling face with arched eyebrows over round glaring eyes, small wrinkle slits fanning from each eye's outer corner, diamond accents dotting the cheeks, and a sweeping smile packed with uneven square teeth. Every cut pierces through, so light streams from all the details at once. A hard carve where the wrinkle slits are the fussy part; cut those hairline slivers with a detail saw before opening the large eye holes beside them.

Hard

Leering Eyes and Crooked Nose

Slanted leering eyes with attached round pupils glare above a crooked off-center nose and a jagged sneer packed with pointed fangs, while scattered diamond scars glint across both cheeks. The eyes, nose, mouth, and diamonds are pierced with pupils and fang points left as shell. The hard part is the web of narrow fangs; cut each tooth gap from tip to base and never twist the blade mid-cut.

Hard

Double Wrinkles and Fang Grin

Deeply wrinkled brows curl over narrowed eyes with rooted pupil tabs, a flared nose snarls in the middle, and a wide fanged grin full of jagged teeth completes this genuinely sinister face, flanked by small diamond cutouts at each temple. Everything is pierced through, and the layered brow wrinkles are why it rates hard. Cut the thin wrinkle slits with a fine-detail saw before the larger eye and mouth openings weaken the surrounding wall.

Hard

Clenched Eighteen Window Grin

Furrowed slash brows press down on angry eyes with squared pupil tabs, over a flat nose, cheek slits, and a wide clenched mouth divided into a grid of glowing tooth windows. Every window is pierced through, and the lattice of rind strips between them is the hard part. Cut the small mouth openings one at a time, alternating sides, so the grid never carries stress from a half finished row.

Hard

Heavy Brows and Stitched Smile

Sharp slanted eyes glare from under heavy brows above a narrow triangle nose and a long menacing grin lined with thin vertical teeth. The eyes, nose, and mouth are cut through, and the row of skinny tooth bridges is what earns the hard rating. Cut the mouth outline first, then remove the gaps between teeth one at a time so the fragile strips never take sideways pressure.

Hard

Narrow Eyes and Barbed Smile

A sinister jack-o'-lantern face with hooked, narrowed eyes, a small heart-shaped nose, and an enormous crescent smile lined with dozens of needle-thin barbed teeth. The eyes, nose, and grin are cut through, and the tiny spikes along the smile are what push this into hard territory. Carve the long crescent first, then nick each barb outward from the opening with a fine blade so the delicate points do not tear.

Free PDF

Hard

Double Zigzag Flame Face

Jagged flame-shaped eyes glare above a huge zigzag grin packed with two rows of interlocking pointed teeth. Every eye, brow flick, and tooth gap is pierced clean through, leaving thin orange spikes of rind that read as fangs when the candle is lit. Those narrow tooth points are fragile, so cut them last, work from the tips inward, and support each spike with your free hand as you finish.

Free PDF

Hard

Snarling Split-Mouth Face

This snarling jack-o'-lantern glares through slanted, angry eyes above a flared triangular nose and a huge split mouth bristling with long fangs and jagged lower teeth. The eyes, nose, and mouth are all cut through, while thin skin bridges hold each fang in place against the glow. Rated hard because of those narrow tooth bridges; carve the fangs last with a fine saw and leave extra width until the final pass.

Hard

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.

Hard

Evil Scarecrow Pumpkin Stencil

An oversized evil face fills this scarecrow pumpkin stencil, with heavily arched crescent brows slanting inward over deep-set crescent eyes, a small heart-shaped nose cutout, and a wide grinning mouth lined with dozens of sharp, evenly spaced spike teeth. All facial features are pierced through; the pumpkin skin between them forms the cheeks, brow ridge, and lip edges. Begin with the eyebrow slashes, then the eyes, saving the spike-tooth mouth for last because those narrow points snap easily if the wall has already been weakened.
