Beginner or pro, there's something on this page for you.

Intermediate

Angled Eyes and Seven Fangs

Two sharply slanted triangle eyes glare above a wide jagged mouth lined with seven pointed fangs, giving this face a classic menacing snarl. Every element is cut fully through, and the zigzag mouth does most of the work, so accuracy there pays off. Cut each tooth as two separate straight strokes meeting at the point instead of dragging the saw around the corner, and the grin stays razor sharp.

Intermediate

Six-Slot Grin and Cheek Slits

Two arched, angry eyes glower above a huge crescent grin broken into a row of glowing tooth slots, with small slits flaring at each cheek. All the features are pierced through the wall, and the strips of rind left between the tooth openings become the dark teeth of the smile. Cut the mouth slots from the center outward and leave the narrow rind bridges at full thickness so the grin holds its shape.

Intermediate

Angular Seven-Tooth Grin

A sharp-edged jack-o'-lantern face with slanted triangle eyes, an angular nose, and a wide jagged mouth broken into seven pointed teeth. Every shape is cut straight through the pumpkin wall, making a bright, high-contrast face that reads perfectly from the porch steps. It is a medium pattern because of the many small tooth points, so saw into each corner from both directions instead of twisting the blade to keep the tips sharp.

Intermediate

Brows and Six Cheek Dots

A classic jack-o'-lantern face with slanted triangle eyes topped by separate angled brow cuts, a diamond nose, and a wide grin broken by six blocky teeth, plus three small round holes dotting each cheek. Every element is cut fully through so the whole face blazes at night. A solid medium project; drill or punch the cheek dots first while the wall is strongest, then saw the eyes, brows, and mouth.

Intermediate

Arched Eyes and Seven Slots

This cheerful face pairs tall arched eyes, each with a round pupil left attached at the top, with a triangle nose and a huge grin broken by seven tooth slots. The eyes, nose, and mouth are pierced while the pupils and tooth bars remain as connected shell. The attached pupils are the trickiest part, so cut around each one carefully and leave a generous bridge so they stay anchored.

Intermediate

Skeleton Face With Bone Teeth

This clever skull face swaps ordinary teeth for a row of four upright dog-bone shapes beneath two big oval eyes and a small triangle nose. Eyes, nose, and each bone tooth are pierced fully through so the whole skeletal grin glows. The rounded bone ends are the trickiest part of this medium carve; drill or poke a starter hole in the center of each bone, then saw outward so the knobby tips keep their shape.

Intermediate

Swept Eyes and Melting Grin

A wicked jack-o'-lantern with two swept, flame-like eyes, a small notched nose, and an enormous melting grin whose edges drip and ripple across the lower half of the pumpkin. All features are pierced through, and the wavy mouth throws dramatic, uneven light. This is medium work with one long tricky opening, so carve the mouth in sections from the center out and leave the drippy lower points attached until the very end for support.

Intermediate

Notched Brows and Jagged Grin

A characterful jack-o'-lantern with heavy notched brows sitting over sly almond eyes, and a huge open mouth whose top edge is a row of jagged zigzag teeth above a broad curling lower lip. Eyes, brow slits, and the mouth are all pierced through for a bright, expressive glow. At medium difficulty, the key move is cutting each zigzag tooth point cleanly; slice into every corner from both directions instead of turning the blade.

Intermediate

One Eye and Two Upper Teeth

A goofy one-eyed jack-o'-lantern with a huge round eye topped by a dark pupil circle, a small triangle nose, and a wide smile broken by two chunky upper teeth. The big eye, nose, and mouth are cut through, while the pupil area keeps a disc of skin attached at the top for contrast. Support the teeth by cutting away from their narrow roots, since those two tabs carry the whole grin.

Intermediate

Anxious Round-Pupil Frown

A hilariously worried pumpkin face with two big round eyes topped by drooping eyebrow arcs and a deep upside-down frown. Each feature is a pierced opening, and the round pupils stay attached as tabs inside the glowing eyes to give it that anxious stare. At medium difficulty the pupil bridges are the key detail; cut toward each tab rather than away so you do not snap them off.

Intermediate

Round Pupils and Five Teeth

A big-eyed, grinning jack-o'-lantern face with round pupil tabs left inside each eye and five square teeth breaking up a wide smile. The eyes and mouth are cut clean through while the pupils and teeth remain attached to the rind as solid bridges. Those round pupils make this a medium carve, so pierce a relief hole beside each one first and saw toward it rather than levering the blade, which can snap the connecting tab.

Intermediate

Teardrop Eyes Stitched Smile

Two droopy teardrop eyes hang over a long curving smile crossed by short stitch marks, giving the face a sweetly sinister rag-doll look. The eyes and the full stitched mouth are pierced through, with each stitch cut as a small notch branching off the main smile line. At medium difficulty, carve the long mouth curve first, then add the stitch notches one at a time so the thin rind between them stays supported.
