Sunset Stegosaurus Pumpkin Stencil
A Stegosaurus with sweeping back plates in a bold silhouette. Print the dinosaur pumpkin stencil with a cutout key and individual instructions.
Sunset Surf Pumpkin Stencil
A half-sun sets over two rows of curling surf, six stylized waves in all, with a chunky starfish tucked at the end of the bottom row. Each wave curl, the sun, and the starfish are individual cut-through openings separated by healthy strips of skin. For a medium carve like this, work top row first and keep the skin bridges between waves at least finger-width so the pattern stays strong through the whole session.
Surprised Emoji Pumpkin Stencil
The surprised face emoji is translated into a pumpkin stencil with wide round eyes, a furrowed brow, a small nose bump, and a large open oval mouth. The face disc is partially cut away around the perimeter leaving a crescent of solid pumpkin at the top and right side; the eyes are rings with solid centers, and the mouth is a solid oval pierce. When lit, the face glows with an expression of shock. Carve the ring-shaped eye borders carefully: cut the outer circle first, then the inner pupil circle, leaving the solid dot of pumpkin wall between them untouched to preserve the iris-ring detail.
Surprised Ghost Pumpkin Stencil
A ghost face with two large oval eyes, a small heart-shaped nose, and a wide rounded mouth with a tiny tooth bump stares out from this simple pumpkin stencil. All four features are individual pierce-throughs floating in the pumpkin surface. When lit, the glowing eyes and mouth give the jack-o-lantern a look of wide-eyed astonishment. Since the four cutouts are widely spaced with generous pumpkin wall between them, cut the small heart nose last: its concave top curve requires care and the surrounding rigid wall makes it easiest to score clean inward curves.
Sweet Dreams Moon Pumpkin Stencil
A sleepy crescent moon with a gentle closed-eye face drifts above a puffy cloud, with two twinkling stars floating at its side. Most of the design is shaded by shaving the skin so the moon and cloud glow softly, while the stars can be etched to match. Keep your shave shallow on the facial features, going just deep enough on the eyelid and lips that they read as darker lines.
Sweet Whiskers Pumpkin Stencil
A sweet cat face rendered entirely in surface shading: pointed ears with inner triangles, wide eyes with crescent pupils, a small nose, a curved smile, and eight long whiskers fanning across the cheeks. Nothing is pierced through, so you shave away just the orange skin and let the pale flesh show the design. At medium difficulty, keep your scraping depth even along the thin whisker lines so they all glow with the same brightness.
Sweetheart Blush Pumpkin Stencil
A kawaii-style face made of two big round eyes, a gentle crescent smile, and a glowing heart on each cheek like a blush. All five shapes cut cleanly through the wall, and their simple outlines make this one of the easiest patterns in the collection. Start each heart at its top notch and cut down both lobes toward the point so the little cheeks come out in one neat piece.
Sweetheart Harvest Pumpkin Stencil
A folk-art beauty: two heart-shaped keyhole eyes crowned with leafy sprigs, sprays of leaf cutouts fanning across both cheeks, diamond accents down the brow, and a huge grin filled with neat rectangular teeth. Every heart, leaf, diamond, and tooth gap is pierced through, creating a lacework of light. This is an expert pattern with many close-set openings, so work from the center outward and rotate the pumpkin often to keep your cutting angle comfortable.
Sweetheart Silhouettes Pumpkin Stencil
A large heart is cut out of the pumpkin, but two facing profiles are left standing in the middle of the opening, so a couple appears to lean toward each other in silhouette against the glow. The heart interior is removed while the joined profile column stays attached at the bottom point. This is a hard carve because those noses, lips, and chins are thin; use a fresh fine blade and cut away from the profiles, never into them.
Sweetheart Smile Pumpkin Stencil
An irresistibly cute kawaii face: two tall oval eyes, a tiny curved smile, a heart-shaped blush on each cheek, and eight little sparkle dots scattered around the edges. Every element is a small pierced opening, and the wide spacing across a squat pumpkin gives it that classic sticker-art charm. At medium difficulty the hearts and dots demand patience; use a drill bit or apple corer for the round sparkles to keep them perfectly circular.
Swooping Bald Eagle Pumpkin Stencil
A bald eagle swoops down with wings fully spread in this striking pumpkin stencil, its feathers rendered as a fan of elongated oval cutouts radiating from the body while the torso, tail, and talons are larger open shapes. The mosaic of separate feather pierces makes the wings blaze with light and gives the design a dramatic stained-glass quality. Cut the smallest outer wing-tip feathers first while the wall is firmest, then work inward toward the body to avoid weakening the center before the delicate tips are done.
Swooping Swift Pumpkin Stencil
A swift in full dive displays wide-spread wings and a deeply forked tail in this bird pumpkin stencil, its entire silhouette carved as one large open shape. The wing tips show a ragged, feathered edge that gives the design energy when lit; that serrated border is the most fragile detail. Score those feathered wingtip notches with short, shallow plunge cuts before removing the main wing mass, so the delicate points separate cleanly rather than tearing.
T-Rex Pumpkin Stencil
A T. rex tears across this expert pumpkin stencil in a side-profile attack pose: massive jaws open wide with individual pointed teeth, a large round eye socket, muscular body sections, short forearms with clawed fingers, and powerful hind legs with three-toed feet all rendered as separate cut-through shapes. The jagged teeth line along the upper jaw is the most technically demanding element. Cut each tooth gap individually from the back of the jaw toward the snout tip, finishing the tooth row before opening the large body cavities so the wall stays rigid during the fine work.
Taking the Scenic Route Pumpkin Stencil
A determined penguin walks toward towering snowy mountains. Print this intermediate pumpkin stencil with a visual cutout key and feature-by-feature guide.
Tall Happy Face
A big cheerful face for tall pumpkins: two large round eyes with attached rind pupils, a small triangle nose, and a huge open grin with a single square tooth notching the lower lip. All the features are cut through for maximum glow. Keep the eye pupils attached by leaving their connecting bridges generous, and angle your blade slightly outward so the round openings do not pinch inward as the pumpkin softens.
Tall Tabby Pumpkin Stencil
An upright cat face sized for taller pumpkins: leaf-shaped eyes, a small triangle nose, three long whisker slits on each cheek, pointed ears, and a smiling mouth with rounded teeth left in place. Every feature is a simple pierced cutout. Carve the skinny whisker slits with a fine blade before opening the larger eyes and mouth so the wall stays stiff while you work.
Teacher's Apple Pumpkin Stencil
A plump apple with a stem and single leaf glows at the front, trailed by a diagonal line of four round holes like tumbling seeds. The apple body, leaf, and dots are all pierced through, with the stem notch left as dark shell between them. A great pick for classrooms and teacher gifts; punch the four small holes with a corer first, then saw the apple outline in slow curves.
Teardrop Eyes Alien Pumpkin Stencil
Two enormous teardrop eyes dominate this quirky alien mug, floating above a tiny triangle nose and a crooked grin made of separate oval mouth slots, with three little stars sprinkled around the face. Every eye, slot, and star is cut through, giving the pumpkin a goofy otherworldly stare. At medium difficulty, carve the huge eyes last since removing that much wall weakens the face, and keep the small oval grin slots evenly spaced.
Teardrop the Clown Pumpkin Stencil
A goofy clown face with big round eyes crossed by horizontal rind bars, teardrop shapes dangling from each cheek, a button nose, and a huge grin with three chunky teeth. The eyes, tears, nose, and mouth are all cut through, while the eye bars and teeth stay as attached rind bridges. Those bars make it a medium carve: cut each eye as an upper and lower opening on either side of the bar, supporting the bridge with a finger as you finish the strokes.
Tears of Joy Emoji Pumpkin Stencil
This emoji pumpkin stencil captures the classic tears-of-joy face: a large circular outline frames squinting crescent eyes, a wide open-mouth smile, and two teardrop shapes streaming from the outer eye corners. Most of the interior is pierced through, leaving thin curved bridges for the eyes, brow shapes, and a tongue strip inside the mouth. When lit, the laughing face reads instantly from across a porch. Keep the two small teardrop cutouts for last, as they are isolated from the main body and can shift if the stencil loosens.
Tears of Joy Pumpkin Stencil
This tilted laughing face leans hard to one side, with two squinted arrow eyes, a huge open grin, and a teardrop of joy flying off each corner. All the features cut fully through, and the diagonal tilt is what makes it read as the crying-laughing emoji everyone knows. It rates hard because the squint lines and tear droplets are small, so use a fine saw and drill-start each tiny opening before cutting.
Teddy Bear Pumpkin Stencil
A seated teddy bear with tattered, drip-edged fur fills this hard-level pumpkin stencil: a round head with small round ears, two circular cheek spots, a nose-and-muzzle cutout, and a tummy split into two glowing panels flanked by small round paws. The ragged fur silhouette along the top of the head and across the body creates dozens of short, jagged points that must stay connected. Work from the center facial features outward, and avoid pressing too hard on the bear's narrow fur-tip points so they do not snap before the larger belly sections are removed.
Tee Time Pumpkin Stencil
A classic golf iron leans behind a dimpled ball sitting in a tuft of rough grass, all done in skin-shave shading with no pierced openings. The club face grooves, ball dimples, and grass blades are etched at varying depths so each element glows in its own warm tone. Score your outlines first, then shave between them; the fine groove and dimple details reward a light touch.
Tennessee Pumpkin Stencil
Tennessee's wide, almost rectangular state outline is cut as a single open silhouette in this pumpkin stencil, with the stepped notch on the upper-left edge and the jagged western corner representing the state's distinctive border. When lit, the entire shape glows as one bold window of light. Because the outline follows an irregular path with several sharp interior corners along the southern border, score each angle carefully and complete one full corner before moving to the next to avoid cracking the skin at the tight turns.
Tennessee State Shape
Tennessee's long parallelogram runs nearly the full width of the pumpkin, flat across the top with the jagged mountain border stepping down the eastern end. The entire state is removed as one wide glowing band. Since the opening is long and shallow, cut the straight top and bottom edges first, then work the stepped eastern corner in small bites to keep every notch sharp.
Texas Pumpkin Stencil
Texas's iconic state outline is cut as a single open silhouette in this pumpkin stencil: the rectangular panhandle at the upper left, the broad body tapering to the pointed southern tip, the ragged Gulf Coast along the eastern lower edge, and the squared-off western side. Lit from inside, the whole shape glows as an unmistakable Lone Star State window. The most demanding section is the lower Gulf coastline, where repeated small indentations create a saw-tooth edge; make these cuts last and use a narrow blade to follow the fine detail without breaking the points.
Texas State Shape
The unmistakable outline of Texas, panhandle and all, cut clean through the pumpkin wall so the whole state glows as one bold window of light. Everything inside the border is removed and the surrounding skin is left untouched, making the shape pop from across the yard. At medium difficulty, take the jagged Rio Grande border slowly in short strokes so the wiggly southern edge stays recognizable.
Textured Coastal Starfish
A five-armed starfish rendered entirely in surface shading, with a dotted texture running down each tapered arm for a realistic sea-star look. Nothing is pierced through: you shave away the outer skin inside the outline while the pumpkin wall stays intact, so it reads beautifully in daylight. At medium difficulty, scrape shallow and even first, then deepen the dotted ridges last so the texture stays defined.
The Antlered Horror Pumpkin Stencil
A tall, unsettling monster mask stares out of the pumpkin: long upright ears branching like antlers, hollow ringed eyes, a skeletal snout, and a mouthful of pointed fangs, all drawn in thin interlocking cutouts. The entire face is pierced through as a network of narrow slots that leaves delicate pumpkin bridges between every glowing line. This expert design demands a fine-detail saw; carve from the center outward so the fragile bridges keep support as long as possible.
The Apothecary Pumpkin Stencil
A footed mortar bowl with a tilted pestle resting across its rim, the timeless symbol of pharmacists and potion mixers alike. The bowl, base, and pestle are carved as one connected cutout so the whole emblem glows in a single bright shape. An easy pattern with mostly smooth curves; keep the narrow bridge where the pestle meets the bowl rim intact, and this one is done in a single relaxed sitting.
The Barbed Grin Pumpkin Stencil
A sinister jack-o'-lantern face with hooked, narrowed eyes, a small heart-shaped nose, and an enormous crescent smile lined with dozens of needle-thin barbed teeth. The eyes, nose, and grin are cut through, and the tiny spikes along the smile are what push this into hard territory. Carve the long crescent first, then nick each barb outward from the opening with a fine blade so the delicate points do not tear.
The Beaming Sunburst Pumpkin Stencil
A beaming sunburst face with closed happy crescent eyes, a small triangle nose, and a huge picket-tooth grin, all encircled by a radiating ring of alternating teardrop and triangle ray cutouts. Every ray, tooth gap, and feature pierces through, and the sheer count of small openings makes it an expert carve. Cut the outer rays in sequence around the circle first, rotating the pumpkin as you go, before opening the large mouth.
The Belly Laugher Pumpkin Stencil
Arched brows curve over squinting eyes while a huge open mouth shows four top teeth and a notched tongue lolling below, with short laugh lines radiating from each cheek. The face is all pierced cuts, and it rates hard because the tongue and teeth stay attached by narrow tabs inside the big mouth opening. Cut the mouth outline first, then carefully notch around the tongue tab last so it does not break free.
The Bewitched Hat Pumpkin Stencil
A tall witch hat with a jauntily bent tip glows from the pumpkin, its wide oval brim carved as a separate opening beneath the crown so the solid hatband reads as a dark stripe between them. Around the hat, small circles and diamonds sparkle like scattered magic. This medium design hinges on that hatband bridge; cut the crown and brim as two independent openings and never saw across the band, then finish with the little sparkle shapes using a drill and detail knife.
The Big Catch Pumpkin Stencil
A plump fish silhouette with a notched triangle tail swims across the pumpkin, trailed by three round bubbles rising toward the stem. The fish body and each bubble cut completely through, giving anglers a bold, glowing catch with almost no fine detail to fuss over. An easy pattern; remove the large body in two pieces split at the tail notch, then drill or carve the bubbles smallest to largest.
The Big Gasp Pumpkin Stencil
An ornamental surprised face: two big eyes striped with vertical bars sit beneath fanned brow lines, above a tall oval gasping mouth ringed by a halo of teardrop cutouts. Every bar, fan line, teardrop, and the central oval is pierced through, and the sheer number of narrow slits is what makes this an expert carve. Cut all the fine slits before the big oval, working outward from the center, so the wall keeps its strength as long as possible.
