Pharaoh and tomb
A brooding mummy with a headdress, or a sarcophagus. The headdress stripes and the sarcophagus lid are straight lines, so cut them as parallel slots and scrape the gold areas so they glow a warm orange.

Wrapped mummy face
A face covered in bandages with the eyes peering through a gap. Cut the gaps between bandages as narrow diagonal slits that cross the face in both directions, and cut the eyes through inside one wider gap. The bandages themselves stay solid.

Mummy pumpkin carving FAQ
- What is the easiest mummy pumpkin to carve?
- Cut two eyes, then cut a series of narrow diagonal slits across the whole front of the pumpkin, leaving wide strips between them. The strips are bandages, the slits glow between them, and the eyes peek through. It is one of the fastest full-pumpkin designs.
- How do I carve mummy bandages?
- Draw bandages as strips crossing the pumpkin at different angles, overlapping like real wrapping. Cut only the thin gaps between strips, never the strips themselves. Where two strips cross, leave the top one unbroken so the wrap looks layered.
- How do I keep a wrapped mummy pumpkin from collapsing?
- Keep the gaps narrow, a quarter inch to half an inch, and the bandages wide. Because every opening is a thin slit, the wall stays strong even when the slits cover the whole front.
- What light works for a mummy pumpkin?
- Warm white or amber. It makes the gaps between bandages look like old linen. A single green light behind the eyes is a classic horror touch.
- Are the mummy pumpkin stencils free?
- Yes. Enter your email on a linked stencil page to unlock its free printable PDF. Print on letter or A4 paper and adjust the scale to your pumpkin. Related stencils may differ from the inspiration images in this gallery.
