Scarecrow Pumpkin Stencil
A simple, cartoonish scarecrow stands with arms outstretched on this hard pumpkin stencil, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and showing a squiggly grimace for a mouth. The body and hat are solid pumpkin flesh while gaps between the outstretched arms, the ragged tunic slashes, and the stick post below are all cut through. The thin neck post connecting the head to the body is the most fragile element; complete all arm and tunic cuts before touching the area around that connector to keep the head from separating prematurely.
Scarecrow Face Pumpkin Stencil
Two large round eyes with small eyebrow hooks above each, a pair of pointed teardrop nostrils, and a wide toothy grin with sharp downward-pointing fangs give this scarecrow face its slightly sinister character on this easy pumpkin stencil. All cut pieces are chunky and well-separated, making this a comfortable carve despite its spooky look. To keep the row of fang tips from chipping, make the two vertical cuts on each fang before the horizontal base cut that frees the piece.
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.
Scarecrow Pumpkin Stencil
A friendly scarecrow stands arms-out in classic T-pose: a brimmed hat with a small torn-corner flap, a round face with X eyes and a stitched-line smile, a necktie, straw tufts poking from the sleeves and hem, and a central post below the body. The design uses a mix of open cuts for the background spaces and solid orange bridges that form the straw strands, clothing triangles, and facial features. When lit, the scarecrow appears as a warm silhouette with the straw tufts back-lit individually. Cut the small X-eye shapes and the stitched smile first, as these tiny marks are hardest to control once surrounding material is removed.
