Hat Trick Pumpkin Stencil
A giant soccer ball covers the face of the pumpkin, built from a central pentagon surrounded by shaved hexagon panels. Nothing is cut through; you peel the skin from the light panels while the pentagons and seam lines stay dark orange, recreating the classic ball pattern. Trace every panel edge with a knife tip before shaving so the straight seams stay crisp, since clean lines are what sell the geometry.
Haunted Church Pumpkin Stencil
A tall, narrow gothic church building with a cross at its steeple peak forms this haunted-house pumpkin stencil. Flanking the spire are two dead trees rendered as diagonal stick shapes with crosshatch window-pane details, and a row of grass tufts sits at the base. The arched doorway and tall multi-pane windows are the primary cut-through openings, while the church walls, trees, and ground remain solid. Cut the small rectangular window panes in the trees first, then the main church windows, so the thin tree branches stay anchored while you work.
Haunted Controller Pumpkin Stencil
A playful ghost rises from a game controller with bold buttons and curved grips. Download the printable stencil and numbered carving guide.
Haunted Hollow Tree Pumpkin Stencil
A gnarled bare tree glows from a wide split trunk up through forked, twisting branches, the classic haunted-forest silhouette in reverse. The entire tree shape is cut through as one connected opening, so light traces every crooked limb. It rates easy because the cuts are bold, but the branch tips narrow quickly; cut from each tip back toward the trunk and remove the waste in small pieces so no limb snaps off.
Haunted House & Crescent
A small haunted house with a peaked tower and a crescent moon hanging above it, arranged as a simple night scene on a curved ground line. The design is all skin-shave shading with no pierced holes, so the house, moon, and hill appear as pale carved shapes against the dark pumpkin skin. For this medium etch, outline every shape with a shallow V-cut first, then peel the skin inside the lines so the roof peaks and steeple stay sharp.
Haunted House Moon Pumpkin Stencil
A tall haunted mansion with jagged roofline towers, arched windows, and a wide front door fills the center of a large circular moon cutout in this pumpkin stencil. Two bats flank the upper towers, and tufts of grass sprout at the base. The moon circle is the main open cut, while the house is retained as pumpkin wall, glowing orange against the dark void. Carve the rectangular window openings and the door arch before cutting the surrounding moon circle, so the house structure has support while you work the fine edge details.
Haunted House Pumpkin Stencil
Two stacked haunted house facades make up this easy pumpkin stencil: an upper story with a steep peaked roofline and a tall arched window topped by a smaller rectangular pane, then a lower story with its own peaked roof, a grid window, and a rounded arch doorway, all sitting on a narrow uneven ground strip. The cut sections are the rooflines, windows, door, and ground strip, while solid pumpkin bridges between them keep the tiers separate. Cut the smallest window panes first so the surrounding structure stays rigid while the larger roofline panels are removed.
Haunted Mansion Pumpkin Stencil
A tall narrow haunted mansion rises up this pumpkin stencil as a stacked tower: a pointed triangular roof at the top, a rectangular belfry below, then three descending tiers of arched window pairs that grow progressively wider, finishing with a rounded arched doorway and grass tufts at the base. All windows and the door arch are cut through, leaving orange wall between each tier as structural separators. Cut the door arch at the bottom first to relieve pumpkin tension, then work upward tier by tier so the cuts above don't flex the completed windows below.
Haunted Oak Tree Pumpkin Stencil
A bare haunted oak rises inside an oval frame in this expert-level tree pumpkin stencil, its trunk split at the base into gnarled roots, its branches spiraling upward with curling scrolled tips, and a sinister face lurking at the trunk where two narrow eye-slits and a spiky mouth hide among the roots. The large background sections within the oval are cut away so the curling branch and root shapes glow as solid orange silhouettes against a dark interior. Work from the outermost curled branch tips inward toward the trunk so the delicate spirals stay supported while you remove the surrounding background.
Haunted Tree Pumpkin Stencil
A gnarled, wind-blown tree trunk splits into wildly curling branches with spiral tips in this hard-rated pumpkin stencil, the entire tree canopy forming a large negative-space cut-out against a small RIP gravestone and a spider-web accent that remain solid. The swirling branch tips are the most delicate cuts in this design; save them for last and use a thin-tipped blade, approaching each spiral from the outside inward so you never cut across a completed curl.
Hawaii Island Chain
The Hawaiian island chain sweeps diagonally across the pumpkin, with eight separate glowing cutouts running from Niihau and Kauai down to the Big Island. Each island is its own small pierced opening, so the surrounding shell needs no bridges at all. Carve the largest island first to get a feel for the wall thickness, then use a fine detail saw for the smaller islands so their shapes stay distinct.
Hawaii Pumpkin Stencil
The Hawaiian island chain appears as a scatter of eight organic island shapes across this pumpkin stencil, ranging from the tiny northwestern islets at upper left down to the large triangular mass of the Big Island at lower right, all correctly spaced in their northwest-to-southeast arc. Each island is an individual pierced-through cutout, so the lit jack-o-lantern glows with the archipelago floating in a dark pumpkin sky. Cut the three smallest islets at the upper left first before carving the larger islands, so the thin walls between the close-spaced upper shapes stay intact while you work toward the spacious lower portion.
Headless Horseman Pumpkin Stencil
A headless horseman gallops across this pumpkin stencil: a rearing horse with flowing tail and mane, a cloaked rider holding a jack-o-lantern aloft in one outstretched hand, all cut as a silhouette composition with open negative space between the horse's legs and between the rider's cape and the horse's back. The carved jack-o-lantern in the rider's hand is its own small cutout with jagged eye and mouth slits. Carve the jack-o-lantern's tiny face cuts first, since that elevated detail is the easiest to lose if the surrounding wall shifts.
Heart Eyes Jack-o-Lantern Pumpkin Stencil
A classic jack-o-lantern face gets a romantic twist: two heart-shaped cutouts replace the usual triangle eyes, each framed by three curling eyelash strokes, above a wide crescent grin with three rectangular tooth gaps. The design is beginner-level with large, easy-to-cut openings and gentle curves throughout. Cut each heart eye from the inner point downward and around the lobes rather than starting at the curved top, which helps you keep the heart shape symmetrical on the pumpkin's curved surface.
Heart Wreath Pumpkin Stencil
Six hearts arranged in a ring point inward toward the center, with a tiny seventh heart crowning the top and small round dots filling the gaps between them like beads on a wreath. Every heart and dot is cut fully through, creating a lantern that throws a circle of glowing hearts across the porch. For this medium carve, poke a starter hole in each heart and cut the notch last; the dots are quick work with an apple corer or drill bit.
Heirloom Smiley Pumpkin Stencil
Two big round eyes and one broad crescent smile make up this whole cheerful design, glowing warm amber against the shell. All three shapes are cut cleanly through with no teeth or interior details, so the face works on any pumpkin color, and it looks especially striking on a blue or white heirloom variety. As an easy carve, use a round cookie cutter or drill bit to keep the eyes perfectly circular, then saw the wide grin in two relaxed passes.
Hero's Helmet Pumpkin Stencil
A classic firefighter helmet, complete with front shield and wide brim, glows above three dancing flames in this tribute design. The helmet crown, brim, and each flame are separate cut-through openings, with skin bridges keeping the helmet's shield outline dark against the light. At medium difficulty, the flame tips are the fussy part; saw each flame from its wide base up toward the point, and cut the helmet's thin brim opening last when you can support the wall from inside.
Hexagon Hive Pumpkin Stencil
Seven hexagonal honeycomb cells of slightly different sizes cluster together, each one a glowing six-sided window separated by thick shared walls. Every cell is cut fully through, and those chunky connecting walls are what keep the pumpkin strong, so resist the urge to slim them down. Cut each hexagon side as its own straight stroke, finishing the corners cleanly with the knife tip, and start with the center cell to anchor the layout.
Hibiscus Flower Pumpkin Stencil
A large hibiscus flower with five broad rounded petals and a starburst of slender stamens radiating from the center fills this pumpkin stencil, plus a small cluster of four round pollen dots floating in the upper right corner. The five petal sections and the space around the stamens are all pierced-through, leaving the thin stamen lines as solid bridges that cross the open flower interior. Cut the four small pollen dots first, then work petal by petal from the outside in, saving the narrow stamen bridges for last so they remain stable throughout the carving process.
High Seas Voyager Pumpkin Stencil
A pirate ship rides three rolling waves, its mast carrying four billowing sail panels and a small flag snapping at the top. The sails, hull, flag, and waves are all cut through, while the mast and yard lines are strips of rind left between the openings to hold the rigging together. Those mast strips make it a medium carve: cut the four sail windows one at a time, always slicing away from the mast strip so you never lever against it.
Hole in One Pumpkin Stencil
A golf iron sweeps diagonally across the pumpkin toward a dimpled ball perched on a tee, with tufts of grass sprouting along the bottom edge. The clubhead grooves, ball dimples, and grass blades are all shaved into the skin at different depths, so the scene glows in layers without a single pierced hole. Shave the big shapes first, then come back with a detail tool for the grooves and dimples.
Hollow Eyes Pumpkin Stencil
Two big blank circle eyes stare out beneath short angled brow slits, while the wide mouth is broken into six upright rectangular slots that glow like stitched or fenced-off teeth. Everything is cut through, and the plain round eyes with no pupils give the face its unsettling, vacant charm. The vertical mouth bars keep this an easy carve; cut every slot top-down in the same direction so the strips between them stay straight and even.
Hollow Watcher Owl Pumpkin Stencil
Print the Hollow Watcher Owl pumpkin stencil with a numbered cutting pattern and step-by-step guide. Intermediate design; print at actual size.
Hometown Hero Pumpkin Stencil
The timeless jack-o'-lantern: two tall triangle eyes, a small triangle nose, and a broad smile notched by two square upper teeth. Every element cuts straight through with simple lines, making this the ideal very first pumpkin carve. Use long, steady saw strokes and keep the blade perpendicular to the shell so the triangle points stay sharp, then pop each piece out from the inside.
Honey Buzz Pumpkin Stencil
A friendly bumblebee spreads four scalloped wings wide, with a round head, curled antennae, and a plump body banded by three raw stripes. This is a shading design with no pierced holes: the wings, head, and body stripes are shaved down to pale flesh while strips of dark skin form the outlines and bands. Shave the big wing panels first, then refine the narrow antennae with a small gouge.
Honeybee Pumpkin Stencil
A honeybee shown from above spreads four large wing panels around a segmented body in this bee pumpkin stencil, each wing outlined by a curved channel and left as a solid pumpkin-skin shape, while the spaces inside and between the wings are cut open. The head, thorax, and three abdominal segments are kept solid with open gaps between them, and two curling antennae rise from the head. Cut the antenna curls first since they are the narrowest, most isolated elements, and finishing them before weakening the surrounding wall prevents breakage.
Honeycomb Glow Pumpkin Stencil
Three big hexagons are arranged like a honeycomb cluster, two side by side up top and one centered below, each cut cleanly through the wall. The result is a modern geometric lantern that glows in warm golden cells. Straight edges are the whole game here, so score each hexagon side with a ruler or card edge before cutting, and the easy design will look precision-made when lit.
Horned Demon Face Pumpkin Stencil
A demon face stares out from this expert pumpkin stencil, its two curved ram-like horns sweeping upward and outward, wild hair radiating from the sides, a bearded chin, and glaring deeply set eyes framed by heavy brow lines. Wing-like shoulder shapes flare wide at either side. The dense interlocking cuts form dozens of small glowing slivers around the retained face features, which remain as solid orange skin. Carve the narrow hair fringe pieces on each side first to release the outer sections, then work inward toward the eyes and beard.
Horned Demon Skull Pumpkin Stencil
A demonic horned skull with massive curved ram-like horns and a symmetrical face composed of dozens of interlocking cut fragments makes this one of the most intricate skull pumpkin stencils available. The forehead, cheeks, and jaw are all broken into shaped segments separated by thin pumpkin bridges, and the horns are densely cross-hatched with ridged cuts. Work from the center outward, cutting the tiniest interior fragments first before opening any large jaw or eye-socket voids, to avoid collapsing the many delicate bridges that hold the design together.
Horned Devil Face Pumpkin Stencil
A snarling horned devil face bursts outward in this expert pumpkin stencil, its deeply detailed visage surrounded by wild flame-like hair, pointed ears, and curling scroll accents, while the eyes, nostrils, and sneering mouth with individual teeth are all cut through as fine interior negative spaces. Dozens of flame-fringe cuts radiate from the outer edge, creating a dense, fiery halo effect when lit. Work from the center face features outward toward the flame fringe, so the most delicate outer tips are cut last when you have the steadiest control.
Horned Havoc Pumpkin Stencil
Two curved horns rise from the crown while fierce slanted eyes, each split by a solid bar of rind, glare above a jagged toothy grin. The horns, eyes, nose, and mouth are all pierced through, with the eye bars and pointed teeth left as uncut bridges. On this medium carve, do the eye interiors in two halves around each bar so the thin strip never bends.
Horned Howie Pumpkin Stencil
A squat, wide-bodied one-eyed monster fills this hard pumpkin stencil from head to toe: a large circular head that doubles as the body, a single giant eye at center made of three concentric rings with a crescent cut-out pupil, two small curved horns at the top, three-clawed hands on short arms at each side, and a wavy skirt-like bottom hem. The three concentric eye rings are connected by thin skin bridges and are the most fragile element; carve the outermost eye ring first and work inward, letting each ring dry slightly before cutting the next.
Hospital Lights Pumpkin Stencil
A bold medical plus sign glows at the top while a row of small square windows and a larger doorway below turn the pumpkin into a tiny lit-up hospital. Every shape cuts straight through, and the straight-edged squares make this an easy, tidy carve, perfect for healthcare workers or a first-responder porch display. Score each square with a ruler before cutting so the windows line up in a neat row.
Howling Werewolf Moon Pumpkin Stencil
A howling werewolf perched on a rocky cliff dominates this expert pumpkin stencil, with a large full moon carved as an open oval behind the creature. The moon's interior is a solid pumpkin island held in place by a narrow strip at the top where the wolf's body bridges it. Scraggly pine trees and scattered bat silhouettes flank the scene, their fine spiky branches adding delicate pierced detail against the candlelit opening. Carve the large moon opening first to anchor the composition, then work outward through the bats and trees, leaving the thin bridge at the wolf's neck for last.
Howling Wolf Moon Pumpkin Stencil
A wolf howling at a large crescent-shaped moon fills this hard pumpkin stencil, with a trio of jagged pine trees to the left and the wolf's body set as a solid orange silhouette inside the open pierced moon arc. The moon itself is the glowing background that frames the wolf and trees, while the animal and pines remain as uncut pumpkin skin. When carving the pine tree segments, cut each zigzag branch notch one at a time using a small detail blade, since the tight repeated angles along the tree edges are easy to over-cut and merge into a single straight line.
Hunter's Haven Pumpkin Stencil
Two crossed hunting rifles sit below a buck's-head silhouette with a full multi-point rack of antlers, forming a classic skull-and-crossbones arrangement in a hunting theme. All three elements are cut out as open silhouettes, so the rifles and antlers glow as bright orange shapes against the dark pumpkin. The junction where the rifle stocks cross is a narrow pinch point; trace that intersection carefully and cut each rifle as a separate pass rather than one continuous stroke to preserve the crossing bridge.
