One stencil. A whole lot of Halloween.

A few ways to make your jack-o’-lantern part of the scene.

Give your doorstep a friendly face

Pair a broad grin with a smaller smiling pumpkin. Vary their heights and add warm LED lights for a welcoming entrance.

Find a friendly face

Make a pumpkin family

Give each pumpkin its own expression: a goofy grin, a surprised face, or a cheeky wink. Let everyone choose a personality.

Find a funny face

Set the scene after dark

Choose slanted eyes and a toothy grin, then let the light do the work. A single wicked face can anchor a spooky porch display.

Find a scary face

From paper to porch

Each stencil page includes a carving guide for the design you choose. Here’s how to get started.

Are these jack-o’-lantern stencils free?

Yes. Choose a design and enter your email on its stencil page to unlock the free printable PDF. Each download includes the pattern and a carving guide.

Which face should I choose for my first pumpkin?

Start with an Easy design with large eyes and a simple mouth. Use the difficulty filter to find beginner patterns in any face style, including scary and funny faces.

How do I print a stencil to fit my pumpkin?

Print the PDF on letter or A4 paper at 100% to start. Hold it against the flattest side of your pumpkin, then adjust the print scale if needed. Small snips around the paper’s edges help it lie against the curve.

How long will my jack-o’-lantern take to carve?

Check the individual stencil’s carving guide for its time estimate. Preparation, pumpkin size, wall thickness and your experience affect the total; difficulty alone does not determine carving time.
