Stardust Trail Pumpkin Stencil
Seven five-pointed stars of varying sizes wind down the pumpkin in a gentle S-curve, like a constellation trailing across the night sky. Each star is a full cut-through opening, so the finished lantern twinkles from every angle. Star points are where beginners slip, so cut each arm from the outer tip inward toward the center and let the cuts meet, which keeps all five points sharp on every star.
Stargazer Cat Pumpkin Stencil
A sitting cat gazes up at a crescent moon while six small stars scatter across the night sky, its long tail curling into an elegant spiral. This is a shading design, so the moon, stars, and cat outline are shaved into the skin and glow as luminous grooves rather than open holes. Rated hard for its long unbroken curves, carve the tail spiral in one slow continuous pass and keep your groove depth consistent so the glow stays even.
Starlight Column Pumpkin Stencil
Three five-pointed stars descend in a vertical column, each one paired with small round dots scattered alongside like sparkling companions. Designed for tall, narrow pumpkins, every star and dot is a clean cut-through opening that fills the height of the fruit with light. Poke the dots first, then cut each star from its center outward toward the points so the tips stay sharp and intact.
Starlight Ridge Pumpkin Stencil
A crescent moon hangs over rolling hills dotted with pine trees, while dozens of stars and pinprick lights scatter across the sky above the treeline. The entire scene is shaved at varying depths into the pumpkin wall, with the moon and hilltops thinned the most so they glow brightest, and the trees left as dark raised skin. Rough in the hills first, then refine tree silhouettes, and finish with the star pricks last.
Starlight Trio Pumpkin Stencil
One broad five-point star dominates the center of the pumpkin, flanked by a single round opening on each side. All three shapes are cut fully through, so the star throws bright, even light while the two dots add a playful balance. It is a quick, satisfying carve for beginners; saw each point of the star from the outer tip inward toward the center so the corners meet cleanly without overcuts.
Starlit Crescent Pumpkin Stencil
A large crescent moon glows at the left while seven chunky five-point stars and six round dots scatter across the rest of the pumpkin like a full night sky. Every moon, star, and dot is pierced through, so the whole surface twinkles when lit. Space your cuts out as you go, alternating sides of the pumpkin, so the wall keeps its strength until the final star is freed.
Starlit Flutter Pumpkin Stencil
A bold bat rises with scalloped wings spread wide while four small stars twinkle around it. The bat and every star are cut completely through the wall, turning the pumpkin into a glowing night-sky scene. The bat is one large connected opening, so it carves fast; poke a starter hole in the middle of the body and saw outward toward the wing scallops, finishing the little stars last.
Starry Crescent Pumpkin Stencil
A large crescent moon curves down one side of the pumpkin while three five-point stars of different sizes float beside it. All four shapes are cut cleanly through the wall, turning the pumpkin into a glowing night sky that is simple enough for a first-time carver. Since this easy design relies on smooth curves, trace the crescent's inner arc slowly and pop each star out point by point rather than in one piece.
Starry Witch Moon Pumpkin Stencil
A tall oval moon dominates this hard witch pumpkin stencil, with a thin vertical broomstick cutting through the center and a small witch figure silhouetted at the bottom, surrounded by four-pointed star cutouts. The moon is carved as a large open oval, so the broom handle remains as a solid pumpkin bridge crossing the glow. Stars scattered inside and outside the moon add sparkling pinhole light around the scene. Cut the large moon oval first to establish the dominant glow, but do not sever the broomstick bridge at the center until the very last pass.
Starry-Eyed Sweetie Pumpkin Stencil
Two huge sparkling anime-style eyes, each split by a vertical skin bar, beam above a tiny smile and heart-shaped cheeks, while dozens of little stars and dots twinkle across the whole pumpkin. The eyes, hearts, stars, and dots are all cut through, leaving the eye bars intact. The sheer number of small piercings makes this a hard carve; drill all the dots first, cut the stars with a fine detail saw, and save the big barred eyes for the very end.
Stars and Stripes 250 Pumpkin Stencil
Celebrate 1776-2026 with a waving flag and bold 250 lettering. Includes a shaded pumpkin pattern with five decorative stars and a printable carving guide.
Starstruck Smile Pumpkin Stencil
A star-struck emoji face with two big five-point stars for eyes and a broad crescent smile beneath them. All three shapes are pierced completely through, so the stars and grin beam like the real starry-eyed emoji. It is an easy carve overall, with the star points as the only fiddly spots; poke a pilot hole in the center of each star and cut outward toward every point.
Starstruck Smiler Pumpkin Stencil
This starstruck face beams with two five-pointed stars for eyes, curved brows arching above them, a wide open grin with tiny teeth, and three round freckles dotting each cheek. All the features are pierced through the wall, and the star eyes are the showpieces. Cut each star from its center out to the points, and drill the six freckles with a small round bit for perfectly matched circles.
Startled Cyclops Pumpkin Stencil
One huge round eye crossed by a vertical skin bar stares out above a stubby grin with two blocky teeth, giving this little cyclops a comically startled expression. The eye and mouth are cut through, with the center bar and both teeth left as standing strips of shell. It is an easy carve suited to smaller pumpkins; cut the eye as two half-circles on either side of the bar instead of one big circle, and the bar will never be at risk.
Startled Stanley Pumpkin Stencil
A hilariously startled face built from just three openings: two round wide-open eyes and one big oval gasping mouth. All three shapes are cut clean through, making this one of the fastest faces you can carve. With no sharp corners anywhere, it is perfect for first-timers; drill a starter hole in each shape and saw outward to the traced line for smooth, even circles.
Static Strike Pumpkin Stencil
A jagged lightning bolt zigzags down the center of the pumpkin, flanked by three round dots that glow like sparks of static. All four shapes are pierced through, and the small count of cuts makes this a fast, satisfying easy carve with a bold graphic punch. Cut the bolt's long diagonals first, then finish the sharp inner angles from each direction so the points stay crisp instead of tearing.
Steady Sheldon Pumpkin Stencil
A gentle box turtle strolls across the pumpkin, its domed shell divided into raised seams and its legs dotted with rounded scale spots. The whole design is skin-shave work with no pierced holes; you strip the skin inside each shell panel and body section while leaving the seam lines dark and raised. Vary your shaving depth slightly between panels to give the shell dimension, and save the tiny scale dots for last.
Stegosaurus Pumpkin Stencil
A cartoon stegosaurus with a round friendly face, four chunky legs, and a row of large diamond-shaped back plates fills this hard pumpkin stencil. The body is carved as a wide open pierce, the back plates are pierced individually above it, and the toes and facial details are fine cut-outs. When lit, the dinosaur glows as a bright segmented shape with the plates hovering above the silhouette. Carve the face details and tiny toe lines before removing the large body section, since the body cut-through will flex the pumpkin wall and make those small details harder to control.
Stegosaurus Skeleton Pumpkin Stencil
A stegosaurus skeleton pumpkin stencil shows the dinosaur in profile walking left, with a series of large angular back plates rising above the spine, a segmented backbone, oval body spots, four chunky limbs, a branched tail end, and a small open mouth with teeth. The back plates cut through as individual diamond and triangular shapes while the body spots and limb outlines are separate pierced sections, leaving orange ribs of skin between them. Cut the back plates from the tallest center spike outward toward the smaller side plates so the tallest unsupported pieces are freed last.
Sticks and Puck Pumpkin Stencil
Two hockey sticks cross in a bold X with their curved blades flaring outward at the bottom, a round puck resting between them, and three small dots arcing above like arena lights. The sticks, puck, and dots are all pierced through, leaving a crisp diamond of pumpkin at the center of the X. At medium difficulty that center diamond is the fragile piece, so cut the four stick channels one at a time and never lever the knife against it.
Stitchlift Pumpkin Stencil
A smiling neighborhood protector wears oversized quilted rescue mittens. Download the original hero pumpkin stencil with a cutout key and carving guide.
Stork with Baby Pumpkin Stencil
A flying stork carries a bundled newborn in its beak in this cheerful pumpkin stencil, the whole scene rendered as a single horizontal silhouette cut entirely through the pumpkin wall. The stork's body, outstretched wings, long bill, and the round swaddled baby bundle are all connected in one flowing outline. Because the bird's bill is the narrowest point in the silhouette, carve it last and approach the tip from the beak base rather than from the pointed end to avoid snapping.
Storm Flash Pumpkin Stencil
A big lightning bolt zigzags down the center of the pumpkin, surrounded by two five-point stars and a scatter of round dots. Every shape is cut clean through, so the bolt blazes with candlelight while the stars and dots sparkle around it. The bolt is one straightforward opening with sharp interior angles; make a small relief cut at each zigzag corner so the blade can pivot without cracking the rind.
Storm Forge Pumpkin Stencil
A round-faced mallet strikes an anvil beneath lightning. Print this storm-forge pumpkin stencil with a cutout key and individual carving steps.
Striding Velociraptor Pumpkin Stencil
A velociraptor in full stride dominates this easy pumpkin stencil, shown in profile with its distinctive upright neck, narrow head, small forelimbs, and long stiffened tail extended behind it. The entire dinosaur silhouette is cut as a single open shape, and a small inner detail near the chest is removed separately to show the bent arm. Lit from behind, it reads instantly as a raptor shadow against the glowing pumpkin. Trace the tail outline before cutting because the long thin tail tip can run outside the pumpkin's curve if not centered.
Sugar Skull Pumpkin Stencil
A sugar skull face radiates symmetry in this Dia de los Muertos pumpkin stencil, with two large oval eye openings, a heart-shaped nose, and a row of rectangular teeth cut through, flanked on each side by detailed rose clusters with petal loops. The forehead band is a broad solid bridge separating the floral crown region from the face below. Cut the intricate rose petal loops before the large eye ovals, since the petals are fragile and need the surrounding wall still intact for support.
Sugar Skull Sombrero Pumpkin Stencil
A Dia de los Muertos sugar skull wears an enormous sombrero whose brim is covered in repeating triangular geometric cutouts, while the skull face below shows heart-shaped flower eyes with petals, small crescent cheek scrolls, and a toothy grin in this expert sugar-skull pumpkin stencil. The tight zigzag pattern on the sombrero brim requires precise, repetitive cuts that must stay connected by narrow bridges to hold the hat together. Carve the hat band and dome details at the top first, then work row by row down the brim triangles before tackling the face, so the skull does not shift while the delicate geometric grid is still being cut.
Sugar Skull with Crossbones Pumpkin Stencil
A Day of the Dead sugar skull topped with a crescent moon cutout sits above two crossed bones on this expert ghost pumpkin stencil. The skull face is packed with ornate floral-style cut-out circles, petal shapes, a nose diamond, and a grid-patterned mouth, all surrounded by thin decorative bridges. Because so many small circular cutouts cluster around the eye sockets, carve both large eye circles first to relieve the surrounding tension, then work outward through the smaller petal and dot details.
Sugar Skull with Roses Pumpkin Stencil
A sugar skull face with flower-ringed eye sockets, a crown of jagged flames, a heart-shaped nose, and rectangular teeth is surrounded by six individually carved roses in this expert pumpkin stencil. Every petal cluster, leaf, and decorative element is a separate pierce-through, creating an intricate Day of the Dead tableau. The carved pumpkin glows through dozens of individual openings simultaneously. Work from the center outward: finish all skull face details before the outer roses, so you can brace the pumpkin face-side-down when carving the perimeter flower clusters.
Sun Meets Moon Pumpkin Stencil
A tall crescent moon pairs with a four-ray sun whose points frame a solid circle of rind at its center, creating a striking celestial emblem. The crescent and the four triangular rays are pierced through, while the sun's middle disc stays attached as a floating island of pumpkin skin. At medium difficulty, cut the four rays individually and avoid nicking the center circle's edge, since that untouched disc is what makes the sun read.
Sunburst Cross Pumpkin Stencil
An ornate flared cross stands at the center of an oval field of sunburst rays that radiate outward to the design's edge. It is carved entirely in continuous-wall relief: the cross is left raised with beveled edges while the rays are shaved to alternating depths so light plays across the whole medallion. This hard shading piece rewards patience, so establish the cross outline deep and clean first, then carve every ray from the cross outward to keep the bevels crisp.
Sunflower Pumpkin Stencil
A large sunflower with roughly twenty lance-shaped petals radiating from a solid circular center disk fills this expert pumpkin stencil. Each petal is an individual pierce-through slot, separated from adjacent petals by a thin curved wall of pumpkin, and the disk center is also carved out. The lit jack-o-lantern blazes like a radiant wheel of light with the petal gaps glowing and the petal walls casting narrow spokes of shadow. Begin carving at the inner petal bases nearest the center disk before working toward the tips, keeping the disk cut for last so the petal ring retains its structural support.
Sunny Bloom Pumpkin Stencil
Eight oval petals radiate from a dotted center like a stylized sunflower, with three small seed holes in the middle and a leafy stem opening anchoring the bloom below. Each petal is a pierced oval, and the skin spokes left between them hold the flower together while letting light pour through. Cut opposite petals in pairs, top then bottom, left then right, so the spokes never take uneven strain.
Sunny Side Pumpkin Stencil
Two tall oval eyes and a small curved smile make up this cheerful minimalist face. All three shapes are cut fully through the wall, so the design carves in minutes and beams warm light from every opening. It is an ideal first pumpkin for young carvers with supervision; drill or poke a starter hole inside each eye so the saw can enter without stressing the surrounding rind.
Sunny Smiler Pumpkin Stencil
Two round eyes sit above a broad crescent smile that sweeps almost the full width of the pumpkin, making the friendliest face on the block. All three shapes are simple cut-throughs with no fragile pieces anywhere. It is a perfect first carve: drill or poke start holes in each eye, saw the circles smooth, then cut the long mouth curve in one relaxed pass, keeping the crescent's pointed corners crisp.
Sunrise Rainbow Pumpkin Stencil
Three nested rainbow arcs curve over a low half circle sun, filling the bottom of the pumpkin with stacked bands of light. Each arc is cut through while narrow ribs of rind stay between the bands, which is what creates the layered glow. Keep those ribs at least half an inch wide as you carve this medium design, since they carry all the structure.
