Bristlefang Werewolf Pumpkin Stencil
Print the Bristlefang pumpkin stencil with a numbered cutting pattern and step-by-step guide. Intermediate design; print at actual size.
Broad Autumn Leaf
A single broad maple-style leaf glows from the pumpkin's face, its rounded lobes and short stem cut fully through as one connected opening. The design leans seasonal rather than spooky, making it a lovely choice for fall porches from October through Thanksgiving. As an easy one-piece cutout, just poke transfer dots along the lobed outline, saw slowly around each curve, and push the waste piece out from inside in a single pop.
Broad Cap Mushroom
A single broad-capped mushroom with a sturdy stem glows from the center of the pumpkin in this cozy woodland design. The whole mushroom is removed as one connected cutout, cap and stem together, so there are no fragile bridges to protect. That makes it a great easy project for porch-step decorating; cut the smooth dome of the cap in one continuous pass, then square off the stem base last for a clean silhouette.
Broken Heart Pumpkin Stencil
A large broken heart split down the center by a jagged lightning-bolt crack is the entire design of this pumpkin stencil, with both halves pierced through so candlelight glows from the whole shape. The bold, smooth outlines on either side of the fracture read cleanly from across a porch. Carve the two outer heart sections first, then make the narrow zigzag cut last to keep the thin points of the crack from flexing and tearing while your saw is working nearby.
Bubble Trouble Cauldron Pumpkin Stencil
Print the Bubble Trouble Cauldron pumpkin stencil with a numbered cutting pattern and step-by-step guide. Easy design; print at actual size.
Bubbling Beaker Pumpkin Stencil
A chunky Erlenmeyer flask with three round bubbles rising from its neck, giving off a mad-scientist potion vibe when lit. The flask body and each floating bubble are cut cleanly through, so the brew appears to glow and fizz after dark. This easy design suits first-time carvers: cut the big flask opening from the bottom up, then punch out the three circles with a small round cut or an apple corer.
Bubbling Brew Pumpkin Stencil
A round-bellied witch's cauldron with side handles and little legs, carved as one big glowing cutout, while three round bubble holes rise above the rim like escaping brew. Everything cuts fully through, so the pot blazes and the bubbles float as bright dots. One of the easiest spooky designs going; punch the three bubbles first, then saw the cauldron body in sections, leaving the handle nubs attached to the main opening.
Bubbling Witch Cauldron Pumpkin Stencil
A round-bellied witch's cauldron sits on a small tripod base while a large plume of swirling smoke and flame rises above it, branching into curling tendrils with scattered circular bubble cutouts floating free in this witch pumpkin stencil. The cauldron interior is a large open void, the smoke tendrils are narrow pierced ribbons, and each bubble is a tiny individual circle punched through the skin. Cut the cauldron body first, then remove the larger smoke ribbons; leave the small bubble circles for last and use a round drill bit or small gouge to keep them clean.
Bubbly Narwhal Pumpkin Stencil
A chubby, smiling narwhal swims among seven round bubbles with stylized waves rolling beneath its tail. Nothing is pierced; the whole design is shaved into the skin so the pale narwhal body, spiral tusk, bubbles, and wave curls stand out against the untouched rind. For this hard shading project, remove skin in shallow, even layers and keep a consistent depth across the body so the narwhal glows uniformly when lit.
Buck Teeth Grin Pumpkin Stencil
This cheerful jack-o'-lantern face pairs two big round eyes with a wide open grin interrupted by a pair of goofy buck teeth. The eyes and mouth are cut all the way through, while the two square teeth are left attached to the top lip. Since it is an easy carve, just take care around those teeth: cut the mouth opening around them and leave each tooth anchored so it does not snap off.
Bucktooth Benny Pumpkin Stencil
A wholesome grinning face with arched eyebrows, round eyes that keep their pupils as uncut dots, a small triangle nose, and a big open smile showing two square teeth. The brows, eye rings, nose, and mouth are pierced through while the pupils and teeth remain as attached pumpkin. Cut the eyes slowly so each floating pupil keeps a solid connecting bridge to the shell.
Bucktooth Buddy Pumpkin Stencil
A cheerful jack-o'-lantern face built from two tall arched crescent eyes and a huge open grin anchored by a pair of oversized buck teeth. Every shape is cut all the way through, so the eyes and smile glow brightly while the goofy overbite stays as solid pumpkin. This is an easy first carve; saw slowly around each tooth from the mouth opening inward so the narrow tooth tabs never snap.
Butterfly Pumpkin Stencil
A large open-winged butterfly with patterned inner wings and gracefully pointed outer wing tips fills this hard animal pumpkin stencil. The wings feature multiple elongated oval cutouts radiating from the central body like veins, with each oval surrounded by a narrow pumpkin-skin bridge. Cut the smallest interior oval slots in the lower hind wings first before opening the larger upper-wing ovals, so the fine bridges between them are still backed by solid wall when the blade goes in.
Button Nose Buddy Pumpkin Stencil
Two round glowing eyes, a tiny button nose, and one big sweeping smile give this pumpkin the friendliest face on the block. All four openings are cut straight through, with no teeth, brows, or tricky details to manage. It is about as easy as carving gets, ideal for a toddler's first pumpkin with adult hands on the saw; drill the eyes and nose with a round cutter, then take the long smile in one smooth curve from corner to corner.
Button Nose Kitten Pumpkin Stencil
A sweet kitten face with big round glowing eyes, a tiny triangle nose, a bow-shaped smile, perky ears, and fine whisker slits fanning from each cheek. Every feature is a simple pierced cutout sized for small hands to trace and grown-ups to saw. Cut the narrow whisker slits first with a detail blade while the wall is stiff, then open the larger eyes and mouth.
Button the Bat Pumpkin Stencil
A round-bodied cartoon bat fills this Halloween pumpkin stencil, its wide goggle eyes left solid orange while the large circular head, fanned wing panels, and small ear tufts are all pierced through. The design reads instantly as a friendly yet spooky bat jack-o-lantern, with bold open shapes that glow warmly at night. Cut the large circular body opening first, then work outward to the wing panels so the surrounding pumpkin wall stays stable while you maneuver the knife.
Button-Eyed Kitty Pumpkin Stencil
A sweet cat face built from simple shapes: two triangle ears cut near the top, round eyes, a small triangle nose, and three thin whisker slits fanning out from each cheek. Everything is a cut-through, so the ears, eyes, and whiskers all glow at night. It is an easy carve overall; save the skinny whisker slits for last and use a narrow saw with short strokes so the slits stay crisp.
Buzzer Beater Pumpkin Stencil
A big glowing basketball built from one large circle divided by the ball's signature curved seam lines. The eight panel sections are pierced through while the seam lines stay as intact pumpkin ribs, so the whole ball reads instantly once a candle goes in. The medium challenge is keeping those curved ribs even, so cut alternating panels rather than working around the circle in order, which keeps the wall supported as you go.
Calavera Dancer Pumpkin Stencil
A skeletal Dia de los Muertos figure wearing a flower-crowned hat dances atop a row of pointed picket-fence stakes in this expert sugar-skull pumpkin stencil, with crossbones at its sides, a lacy ruffled collar, and small flower rosettes scattered at the fence tops. Dozens of small isolated cut pieces, including the fence picket slots, collar ruffles, and flower details, create a composition that must be carved in strict order to avoid structural collapse. Start with the fence picket slots at the bottom of the design and work upward, finishing the skeleton body details last.
Calavera Sombrero Pumpkin Stencil
A calavera skull wearing a wide sombrero fills this expert pumpkin stencil: the sombrero brim is ringed with rows of small scallop-cut holes and vertical stripe slots, the crown shows banded tiers, and the skull below has large flower-shaped eye sockets, a heart-shaped nose, a grinning mouth, and curling moustache scrolls on each side. Every decorative element is cut away so candlelight floods through the scallops, stripes, and flower eyes simultaneously, creating an elaborate Day of the Dead glow. Start with the tiny scallop holes along the sombrero brim before any other cut, since those are easiest to control while the surrounding skin is still rigid.
California Pumpkin Stencil
The distinctive outline of California is carved as a single open silhouette in this states pumpkin stencil, its long jagged Pacific coastline on the left and the straighter inland borders on the right clearly recognizable when lit. The narrow northern tip near the Oregon border and the small notch at Lake Tahoe are the two tightest points in the outline; cut those corners with the tip of your blade at a near-vertical angle rather than dragging the knife sideways, which prevents tearing the thin points.
California State Shape
The unmistakable outline of California cut fully through the pumpkin wall, glowing as one tall golden silhouette. The entire state shape is removed while the surrounding rind stays intact to frame it. The long straight eastern border and the jagged coastline meet at narrow angles, so take the coast in short, connected strokes rather than one continuous pull to avoid cracking the point at the southern tip.
Caped Dracula Pumpkin Stencil
A cartoonish Dracula figure stands arms raised and cape spread wide in this hard pumpkin stencil, with pointed ears, a brow furrowed in menace, two prominent fangs, and clawed hands at the tips of the outstretched arms. The head, torso, and cape folds are rendered as separate cut-through pieces held together by solid pumpkin outlines, so the finished jack-o-lantern reads as a sharp, angular vampire silhouette when backlit. Cut the claw tips at each arm end first since they are the most isolated and will be hardest to control once the large cape areas are removed.
Captain Squawk Pumpkin Stencil
A weathered pirate skull in a battered tricorn hat stares out from this expert pumpkin stencil, a parrot perched on the skull's head and tattered coat lapels framing its hollow cheeks. The skull-and-crossbones badge on the hat, individual finger bones along the bottom, and ragged coat edges create dozens of intricate cut sections. Carve the small hat badge first, then the interior face hollows, before moving outward to the flowing coat edges where the thinnest bridges live.
Carbon Element Pumpkin Stencil
A periodic-table tile for carbon (element 6) fills the stencil: a rounded-corner square border frames a large bold letter C with an interior negative crescent carved away, the atomic number 6 in superscript at the upper right, and the word "carbon" in lower-case across the bottom. The border, the C glyph, the numeral, and the text letters are all pierced through. Lit from within, the design reads as a glowing science reference card. Leave the thin horizontal shelf of pumpkin skin between the C body and the "carbon" text block intact until all the letter-O counters in "carbon" are punched out.
Caring Heart Pumpkin Stencil
A big glowing heart sits at the center flanked by two medical plus signs, with a trio of small dots beneath, a sweet salute to nurses, doctors, and healthcare workers. Every shape is a straightforward cut-through opening with generous spacing between them. This easy design makes a great clinic lobby or front desk pumpkin; cut the heart's notch as two downward strokes meeting in the middle, and use a drill bit for perfectly matched dots.
Carnival Trickster Pumpkin Stencil
A mischievous jester face topped with an arcing crown of small diamond cutouts, tall eyes with long slit pupils, diamond accents on each cheek, and a huge grin lined with pointed triangle teeth. Every diamond, eye, and tooth gap is pierced through, so the whole face sparkles like carnival lights. As an expert pattern full of tiny repeated shapes, cut all the small diamonds first with a narrow saw before opening the large mouth, which weakens the wall.
Carnivorous Plant Pumpkin Stencil
A carnivorous plant in a small pot rears up with a wide-open dinosaur-like skull head in this hard halloween pumpkin stencil, its spotted cap, rows of sharp exposed teeth, a single round eye socket, small side leaves, and a slender stem all rendered as an intricate mix of open cuts and skin bridges. The row of individual teeth is the most demanding detail, each one a narrow spike that must stay connected at its root while the surrounding jaw is removed. Cut the eye socket and cap spots first, then work the tooth row from the back molars forward to the front fangs, leaving each tooth tip touching its neighbor until the very end.
Cartoon Bat Pumpkin Stencil
A cartoon bat with a round face, large round eyes, tiny fangs, and dramatically swept wings stretched wide is caught in mid-flight on this easy bat pumpkin stencil. The wing spans reach almost to the pumpkin's edges and are cut through as large open areas, while the small round face with its eye circles and a smile-line grin stays solid at the center. Cut the big left wing first, then the right, before tackling the face ring; this order keeps the face island stable until the very end.
Cartoon Cow Pumpkin Stencil
A chubby cartoon cow pumpkin stencil shows the animal facing forward with large round nostrils, oval spot patches scattered across its body, small pointed ears, a tufted tail to one side, and four chunky hooves below. The design uses a mix of cut-through spots and solid orange body mass so the cow's form remains readable while light glows through each spot. Cut the large open belly area first to establish the cow's body outline, then tackle the individual spots; the small ear tips are the most fragile pieces and should be cut last.
Cartoon Crab Pumpkin Stencil
A cartoon crab pumpkin stencil with two large curved pincer claws spread wide on each side, two flame-shaped claws raised overhead, a round body edged with jagged serrations, a circular belly, and small stubby legs at the bottom. The solid crab body and claw shapes remain as orange pumpkin skin while the surrounding background and the gaps between the pincers are cut away, creating a silhouette that glows from the outer edges. Keep the narrow connectors between each claw and the body intact until the final cut so the arms stay anchored.
Cartoon Dog Face Pumpkin Stencil
A cartoon dog face looks straight out in this pumpkin stencil, with two floppy rounded ears, a pair of round nose dots, fur-tuft accents on the cheeks, a wide muzzle shape, and a dangling curved tongue all rendered as separate cut-through pieces against an open face background. The design reads as an expressive puppy portrait when candlelit. Cut the small cheek fur tufts and nostril dots first while the surrounding pumpkin wall is still firm, then open the larger ear and muzzle sections afterward.
Cartoon Dragon Pumpkin Stencil
A cartoon-style dragon stands upright with a crested head, open toothy grin, round eye, segmented belly, and a curling tail, all rendered in a chunky outline style on this pumpkin stencil. The body outline, crest spines, and scattered limb shapes are pierced through, while narrow bridges at the belly segments and tail curl remain solid to hold the design together. Cut the largest body cavity first, then the outer wing and limb fragments; save the tiny belly-rib slits for last so the structure stays rigid while you finish the surrounding cuts.
Cartoon Frankenstein Pumpkin Stencil
A cartoon-style Frankenstein face makes up this pumpkin stencil, built from simple geometric pieces: a wide zigzag hairline across the top, two rectangular eye blocks each containing a cut-out square, circular ear studs on both sides, a broad grinning mouth open at the bottom, and two separate curved stitch marks, one on the forehead, one near the chin. The shapes are chunky and well-separated, so the candle light reads cleanly through each element. Carve the two small curved stitch shapes before the large mouth opening so the lower face stays anchored while you work.
Cartoon Ghost Pumpkin Stencil
A cartoon ghost floats upright in this easy pumpkin stencil, with a swirling curl at the top of its rounded head, two three-fingered hands spread wide at its sides, and an oval body that dissolves into a trailing tail. The interior body region and surrounding cut-away areas are pierced through while the ghost outline and a central oval chest patch remain as solid skin. Because the design is mostly open cuts, the pumpkin glows bright around the solid ghost shape for a classic reverse-silhouette look.
Cartoon Monster Pumpkin Stencil
A stocky cartoon monster stands arms-up with a wide open mouth full of jagged teeth, crescent-shaped eyes beneath rectangular brow bars, and a shaggy body outline. The design uses a dense scatter of mid-size cutouts rather than one large opening, so the lit pumpkin shows the monster as a bright orange silhouette surrounded by black negative space. Carve the rectangular brow pieces and the two tiny crescent pupils first, since they are the smallest islands and easiest to pop out while the wall is still fully supported.
