Flying fairy
A fairy in flight with wings spread and a trail of sparkles. Cut the wings through as the largest openings and leave the veins as thin solid lines. The body stays as a small dark silhouette between them, and the sparkle trail is a row of tiny star or dot cuts.

Resting and daydreaming fairy
A fairy sitting on a mushroom, a leaf or a crescent moon. The pose is a seated silhouette, so it carves like a cat-and-moon design: cut the moon or leaf through and leave the fairy solid in front of it, with the wings scraped so they glow softly.

Fairy pumpkin carving FAQ
- What is the easiest fairy pumpkin to carve?
- A fairy silhouette in front of a moon. Cut the moon through as one circle, leave the fairy as solid pumpkin across it, and scrape her wings so they glow a little. Add a few small star cuts around the moon.
- How do I carve fairy wings so they look delicate?
- Cut the wing panels through and leave the veins between them as thin solid lines, at least a quarter inch wide. Angle the knife inward so each vein is thicker on the inside. The light comes through the panels and the veins read as dark lines.
- How do I carve a sparkle trail?
- Use a drill bit or an apple corer for dots of two or three sizes, and a small saw for a few five-point stars. Scatter them in a curve behind the fairy, larger near her and smaller as they trail off.
- What light works best for a fairy pumpkin?
- A small white or pale blue LED. Fairy wings glow best with a cool, even light, and a flickering candle can make the fine veins hard to see.
- Are the fairy pumpkin stencils free?
