Layered Petal Sunflower Pumpkin Stencil
A lush sunflower filling the pumpkin face, with a densely dotted seed head ringed by two overlapping layers of pointed petals and broad leaves fanning out below. It is carved entirely as continuous-wall relief, shaving the skin at multiple depths so petals overlap realistically with no pierced openings. As an expert project, plan your levels first: deepest around the outer background, shallower between petal layers, and the seed dome nearly untouched.
Leaf-Eyed Smile
A grinning jack-o'-lantern face where both eyes are replaced by seven-fingered cannabis leaves, paired with a small triangle nose and a wide smile broken up by blocky square teeth. The leaves, nose, and mouth are all cut through so candlelight pours out of every shape. The leaf points are narrow, so at medium difficulty use a fine saw and cut each finger from the tip inward to keep the serrated edges crisp.
Leaping Dolphin Pumpkin Stencil
A leaping dolphin caught mid-arc, its curved body, pointed snout, dorsal fin, and sweeping tail all glowing through one sculpted cut-through opening, with an intact rind island shaping the pectoral fin and belly. The interior island is the key feature: cut the outer outline in sections and leave the connecting bridges to the island untouched until the very end, then trim them carefully to final width.
Let's Go Brandon Pumpkin Stencil
The phrase "LET'S GO BRANDON" is set in chunky all-caps stencil lettering across two lines, with each letter built from thick strokes and bridged counters so the whole design holds together as a single carved piece. The letters are fully pierced, glowing bright when lit. Because the letter A and the two O's have floating internal islands, cut those counter shapes first before clearing the surrounding letter bodies to keep the islands from shifting.
LGBTQIA2S+ Heart Pumpkin Stencil
A large bold heart silhouette is the main shape, with the text "LGBTQIA2S+" set in thick stencil letters running horizontally across the heart's center. The heart is cut in two halves separated by the text band, which itself is cut through except for the letter bridges. Lit from inside, the whole heart glows with the text reading as solid orange stripes across the opening. Carve the upper and lower heart halves before the text strip to keep the letter bridges from tearing while the wall is still reinforced.

Lily Flower Pumpkin Stencil
A single lily blossom fills the design with five broad sweeping petals, each separated by thin white lines, and a cluster of slender stamen stalks topped with teardrop anthers at the center. The large petal areas are cut through while the stamen cluster creates a spray of small isolated islands at the heart of the flower. Carve the petals from the outermost tip of each down toward the flower center, then tackle the stamen teardrops last so the surrounding petal wall gives you a stable grip while working on those tiny pieces.
Lion Head Pumpkin Stencil
A majestic lion's head fills this pumpkin stencil from edge to edge, its full flowing mane rendered in sweeping curved cuts that radiate outward like flames, with the face centered and features defined by pierced nostrils, brow lines, and an open lower jaw. Lit from inside, the solid orange pumpkin forms the mane and facial structure while the cut gaps create the dramatic shading between mane locks. Begin carving in the outermost mane tips, where cuts are shortest, and work inward toward the face so the central wall remains stable while you navigate the most intricate facial detail cuts.
Lit Flame Pumpkin Stencil
One big flame fills the face of the pumpkin, its four licking tongues tapering to sharp points just like the classic fire symbol. The entire flame is a single cut-through shape, so candlelight literally becomes the fire. This is an easy carve with only one piece to remove; poke the pattern deeply at each flame tip first, then saw from the rounded base upward so the narrow points come out clean instead of ragged.
Little Boo Pumpkin Stencil
A wide-eyed little ghost with curled hands and a wavy hem floats in front of a big round glow, its startled O-shaped mouth mid-boo. The circular background is cut through around the ghost, so the figure stays as connected rind while light floods the disc behind it. Those slim connector bridges at the hands and hem are the whole design; cut the large background sections first and save every bridge for careful final passes.
Little Constellation Pumpkin Stencil
Three five point stars in different sizes drift diagonally across the pumpkin, joined by a scatter of small round dots like distant starlight. Each star and dot is cut fully through, turning the whole pumpkin into a little constellation lantern. The medium challenge is the stars' inner corners; use a thin blade, cut point to point, and finish the tiny dots with a drill or apple corer.
Little Devil Pumpkin Stencil
A small cartoonish devil figure with horn nubs, a pointed tail, and a three-pronged trident stands with a mischievous grin on this devil pumpkin stencil, the body and limbs carved as a tight cluster of connected cutouts. The trident tines and the arrowhead tail tip are the narrowest elements in the design. Carve those thin trident prongs and the pointed tail tip before cutting the larger body void, as opening the chest area too early weakens the wall near those delicate outer points.
Little Flicker Pumpkin Stencil
Made with small pumpkins in mind, this cheerful face uses two modest triangle eyes and a single wide crescent smile with no teeth to fuss over. All three shapes are cut straight through, giving a warm, friendly glow from even a tabletop-sized pumpkin. It is one of the easiest carves on the site; on a small pumpkin, use a thin serrated saw and cut the smile from the center outward so the thin curve stays even.
Little Grumble Pumpkin Stencil
A small round cartoon monster occupies this pumpkin stencil: a chunky body with two large circular eyes, a frowning row of square teeth, a curly stem-like antenna on top, sideways horns, stubby arm appendages, and splayed feet all carved as separate islands of light. The design has many floating cut-through pieces spread across the face of the pumpkin. Start with the two circular eye holes since they are the most central reference points, then position the surrounding appendage cuts relative to them.
Little Jack Pumpkin Stencil
Sized for small pumpkins, this friendly face uses two triangle eyes, a tiny triangle nose, and a rectangular mouth with two square teeth notched into the top edge. All openings cut straight through, and the compact layout keeps every feature close together so it reads clearly on a little gourd. On thin-walled mini pumpkins, use a fine serrated blade and light pressure to avoid splitting the shell between cuts.
Little Monkey Hug Pumpkin Stencil
A cheerful baby monkey hugging a heart, with expressive ears and curled fingers. Includes a printable stencil and numbered carving guide.
Little Royal Pumpkin Stencil
A tiny wide-eyed face with a sweet smile sits low on the pumpkin beneath a crown of triangles and diamond sparkles arching overhead. All the shapes are pierced through, from the big round eyes down to the small candy corn style points. The hard part is spacing; transfer the pattern carefully and carve the little crown pieces with a detail saw so each point stays sharp.
Little Wyrmling Pumpkin Stencil
A chubby, wide-eyed cartoon monster with curved horns, small bat-like wings spread to either side, a smiling mouth, and stubby feet sits inside a large circular opening on this easy pumpkin stencil. The circular background and small body details are pierced through, leaving the round monster figure itself as a solid silhouette at the center. Because the circular outer ring is cut away entirely, score and remove it in segments rather than one piece to keep control of the blade near the wing tips.
Locs Portrait Pumpkin Stencil
A close-up portrait of a man with long twisted locs, rendered in bold cut-through shapes that frame his eyes, cheekbones, and jaw in dramatic silhouette. The face is built from large negative spaces separated by solid orange bridges, so candlelight floods the features when lit. Start by cutting the forehead and cheek openings first; leave the thin vertical bridge between the nose and mouth intact until last to prevent the whole face from sagging during carving.
LOL Pumpkin Stencil
Three bold serif letters spell out "LOL" in a wide horizontal layout, each character sized to fill the pumpkin face from top to bottom. The letters are fully pierced through, so the finished jack-o-lantern reads the internet acronym in glowing orange against the night. Cut the interior counters of the "O" first, since those small oval shapes can crack if you clear the surrounding area before removing them.
Lone Howl Ridge Pumpkin Stencil
This expert-level pumpkin stencil presents a layered wilderness panorama: jagged mountain peaks and a partially obscured moon sit above a mid-ground of ridgelines, while the foreground holds a row of spiky pine trees and a tiny howling wolf on a plateau. Dozens of separate cut-through shapes at varying scales build depth across the whole composition. Tackle the tiny wolf and the narrowest tree spires first, as those fragile points are easiest to cut cleanly before surrounding sections are removed and the pumpkin wall softens.
Lone Star Pumpkin Stencil
One broad five-point star fills the front of the pumpkin as a single dramatic cutout. The entire star is pierced through, leaving a clean rim of pumpkin around it, so a candle inside turns the whole shape into a lantern window. As an easy design it is ideal for beginners; draw a guide dot at each of the five points before cutting, then connect them with straight strokes so the star stays symmetrical.
Lone Tooth Grin Pumpkin Stencil
A friendly twist on the classic face: two upside-down triangle eyes over a wide crescent smile broken by a single square tooth at the top. The eyes and mouth are simple cut-through openings, and the lone tooth is just a small tab of rind left attached along the upper lip. This is a true easy carve, so it is a great first solo project for new carvers; cut the mouth in two halves on either side of the tooth so you never stress that little tab.
Long-Neck Dinosaur
A friendly long-necked sauropod stands in profile, its arched neck, rounded body, four legs, and tapering tail all glowing as one connected silhouette. Because the entire dinosaur comes out as a single cutout, there are no interior pieces to manage, keeping this an easy favorite for dino-loving kids. Take your time on the skinny neck and tail; saw with gentle strokes and keep a hand braced inside the pumpkin so the narrow curves cut clean.
Lopsided Louie Pumpkin Stencil
A mischievous jack-o'-lantern with deliberately uneven eyes under slanted brows, a triangle nose, and a huge crooked grin interrupted by five hanging teeth. All the features are pierced clean through so candlelight pours out of every gap. The teeth are the trickiest part at this medium level, so cut around each one slowly and leave those tabs attached to the rim of the mouth.
Lopsided Zigzag Grin
A cheerfully lopsided jack-o'-lantern face with one big round eye, one slanted triangle eye, and a wide zigzag grin stretching across the pumpkin. All three features are pierced fully through so candlelight pours out, while the surrounding skin stays untouched. The zigzag mouth is the trickiest part at this medium level, so cut each tooth point in two short strokes that meet at the tip instead of dragging one long sawing pass.
Loudly Crying Emoji Pumpkin Stencil
The loudly crying face emoji is rendered as a large circular face with swooping hands pressed to the cheeks, closed scrunched eyes, and twin waterfalls of tears streaming down from the eyes to the chin. The circular outline is pierced through, and the face features are solid orange islands floating within the big cutout. When lit, the pumpkin stencil reads as an instantly recognizable emoji silhouette. The thin vertical tear-stream bridges are the most fragile part of this design; cut the large outer ring first and save the tear columns for last.
Louisiana Pumpkin Stencil
Louisiana's distinctive boot-shaped silhouette is carved as a single large pierced opening, capturing the state's ragged northern border, the broad Mississippi River delta pushing into the Gulf on the southeast, and the narrow toe of the boot at the bottom right. The irregular coastal fringe along the bottom is the design's trickiest edge; use a detail blade and cut from the interior of the shape outward toward each peninsula tip to avoid snapping off the narrow delta fingers.
Louisiana State Shape
Louisiana's famous boot shape carved as a single luminous cutout, from the squared northern border down through the ragged bayou coastline and the toe of the delta. The entire state is removed so light floods the shape, with the surrounding pumpkin left solid. Rated hard because of the frayed coastal edges; use a thin detail saw for those little inlets and cut the delicate toe section last so it stays supported.
Love and Paws Pumpkin Stencil
A large heart glows at the center flanked by a full paw print on each side, every pad and toe pierced clean through the wall. It is a natural fit for pet lovers, veterinary clinics, and rescue fundraisers. Cut the eight small toe ovals first while the shell is sturdy, then the two big pads, and finish with the heart, easing around its top notch so both lobes stay symmetrical.
Love at First Light Pumpkin Stencil
Two facing human profiles, one with short-cropped hair and one with a pointed ear detail, are arranged nose-to-nose inside a heart shape so their silhouettes form both the couple and the lobes of the heart on this easy romantic pumpkin stencil. The large heart interior is cut away entirely on each side of the profiles, while the facing figures remain as solid dividers. The narrow chin-to-chest strip between the two faces is the key bridge; run your blade along each profile edge independently rather than trying to cut the gap in a single pass.
LOVE Block Pumpkin Stencil
"LOVE" is arranged in a two-by-two block format, with "LO" on the top row and "VE" below, echoing the famous Robert Indiana sculpture. Each letter is cut through in rounded, chunky sans-serif type and the four characters together form a near-square composition. The internal counters of the "O" and the enclosed angle of the "V" need to be freed as islands; carve those interior pieces before removing the surrounding letter bodies so they stay fixed in place by the adjacent wall material.
LOVE Pumpkin Stencil
Four tall serif capitals spell out "LOVE" in a single row, each letter sized to span the full height of the pumpkin face, with the word cut completely through so it glows solid when lit. The letterforms use clean, wide strokes with minimal internal bridges, making this one of the most legible word-carving pumpkin stencils in the set. Because the "O" and the interior counter of the "V" require small floating pumpkin islands, remove those internal pieces before fully clearing the surrounding letter to avoid them dropping out unexpectedly.
Love Wins Pumpkin Stencil
A large bold heart dominates the design, split horizontally at its midpoint by a band of stencil text that reads "LOVE WINS" in thick block letters. The upper and lower halves of the heart are both pierced through, and the text band bridges the gap so the heart reads as one unified glowing shape when lit. Because the heart's two halves are each large open voids, carve them before the text strip; clearing the big areas first lets you see exactly how much wall support remains around the letter bridges.
Love-Struck Emoji Pumpkin Stencil
The heart-eyes emoji comes to life with two big heart-shaped eyes, arched brows, and a wide toothy smile, all surrounded by seventeen small hearts and diamond accents scattered across the shell. Every heart, brow, tooth gap, and diamond is pierced through, so the whole pumpkin twinkles. Carve the large central face first while the shell is strongest, then work outward through the border hearts from biggest to smallest.
