Two Sharks Pumpkin Stencil
Two sharks overlap in a dramatic diving composition for this easy pumpkin stencil: a large shark lunges forward with serrated teeth exposed, and a smaller shark curves below it. The negative space between the two bodies is cut away, leaving the sharks as solid orange pumpkin forms. The jagged row of teeth on the large shark is the most detailed edge in the design. Cut the teeth line with individual short plunge-cuts per tooth point rather than sawing along the jagged edge, which reduces the risk of tearing the tips.
UFO Flying Saucer Pumpkin Stencil
A cartoon flying saucer floats in this hard-difficulty pumpkin stencil, with a domed cockpit at the top showing a simple ghost-like alien face inside. A wide flattened disc body below features a row of oval porthole cutouts around its rim and sweeping curved rings beneath. The alien inside the dome and the porthole ovals are each separate pierced shapes. Cut the dome interior and the alien face details before opening the porthole ovals around the rim, so the dome remains attached and stable while you navigate the narrow disc body.
Unicorn Head Pumpkin Stencil
A unicorn head in three-quarter profile faces left with eyes gently closed and long lashes visible, a segmented spiraling horn at the brow, small round nostrils, and a flowing mane of long layered strands cascading to the right on this hard pumpkin stencil. The mane strands are narrow parallel ribbons of solid skin separated by pierced channels. Cut the large open head silhouette first, then carve each mane ribbon from its base at the neck upward so the tapered strand tips are the very last cuts and never lose support.
Unicorn Pumpkin Stencil
A unicorn head in profile fills this beginner pumpkin stencil as a single clean silhouette: the long curved horn, a flowing mane with jagged spiky edges along the neck, and a graceful muzzle. The entire design is carved as one connected open shape so the lit jack-o-lantern shows the full unicorn outline glowing as a bright cutout. The jagged mane edge along the top of the neck creates a row of shallow points that can break if the blade wanders. Keep cuts on the mane tips short and angled directly inward toward the center mass to avoid snapping the narrow points.
United States Mainland
The entire continental United States glows as one big cut-through window, from the Pacific Northwest corner down around Florida's dangling peninsula and Texas's southern point. All the interior is removed while the national border stays crisp in the surrounding skin. This one earns its hard rating on the coastlines: take the Gulf inlets, Great Lakes bumps, and the narrow Florida peninsula in small careful cuts to keep the outline true.
Unscheduled Olympian Pumpkin Stencil
A joyful dog bounds through a finish ribbon. Print this intermediate pumpkin stencil with a visual cutout key and step-by-step carving guide.
USA Text Pumpkin Stencil
Bold block letters spelling "USA" are carved as open pierce-throughs in this easy pumpkin stencil, with a five-pointed star replacing the crossbar of the letter A. The rounded, wide letters are generously sized and leave thick orange walls between them. On the lit pumpkin the three letters glow brightly and the star cutout inside the A shines as a distinct shape. Score the star outline inside the A before cutting the surrounding letter body, since the star's tight inner points are easiest to navigate when the pumpkin wall around them is still rigid.
Utah Pumpkin Stencil
Utah's immediately recognizable outline is the entire design here: a large near-rectangle with a single square notch cut from the upper-right corner where the Four Corners region meets. The shape is pierced through as one solid opening, leaving a clean geometric silhouette that glows as a single bright window. Because the notch corner is the only angular detail in this stencil, score that interior right angle first with the tip of your blade to keep it crisp before opening the rest of the cutout.
Utah State Shape
Utah's blocky outline, with its signature notch taken out of the upper right corner, is removed as a single large opening. The whole state interior is cut through so it glows like a lantern window, while the surrounding rind frames the shape. With only straight lines and square corners, this easy design carves fast; mark the edges with a ruler before you cut for extra crisp results.
Vampire Blues Pumpkin Stencil
A stylish vampire plays guitar beneath a crescent moon. Download the two-depth shaded pumpkin stencil with a visual key and detailed scraping guide.
Vampire Count Pumpkin Stencil
A vampire count shown from the waist up dominates this expert pumpkin stencil: a swept-back widow's peak hairline, arched expressive brows, sharp angular cheekbones, a sneering half-open mouth, and a high-collared cape spread wide at the bottom. The face is built from many disconnected cut-out islands separated by thin pumpkin bridges, giving the lit design a dramatic stained-glass quality. Before cutting any facial details, map all the bridge lines carefully: the narrow strip between the brow and the cheek is the most fragile connector and must be preserved until the end.
Vampire Face Pumpkin Stencil
A close-up vampire face dominates this witch-category pumpkin stencil, featuring wide circular eyes with small pupils, a widow's-peak hairline, swept-back collar wings, and a gaping mouth with prominent fangs. The large open areas of the eyes, collar, and mouth are pierced through, while the face itself stays solid so the features read clearly when lit. Cut the two eye circles first to anchor your registration, then work outward to the collar wings before tackling the mouth and fang gaps.
Vampire Fangs Pumpkin Stencil
Three simple shapes make up this easy vampire pumpkin stencil: two large angular eye cuts that taper to sharp inner corners and a wide crescent grin with two pointed fangs hanging from the upper lip. The design is spare and confident, leaving most of the pumpkin surface solid, so the three glowing openings read as a sinister smirk from a distance. When lit, the fang tips glow brightest; cut the fangs from the inside of the mouth outward so your blade exits the shell cleanly without cracking the narrow points.
Vampire Jack-o-Lantern Pumpkin Stencil
A classic jack-o-lantern face with a vampire twist fills this pumpkin stencil: arched brows made of two angular patches over each eye, two large irregular triangular eye openings, a small v-shaped nose cutout, and a wide gaping mouth with jagged upper fangs and a rounded lower lip. All features are separate pierced-through shapes, so the candle-lit face shows glowing eyes, nose, and teeth against the solid orange pumpkin skin. Cut the small v-shaped nose notch and the two narrow eyebrow patches first so you can use the surrounding wall for leverage when carving the larger mouth and eye shapes.
Vampire Pumpkin Stencil
A snarling vampire face in three-quarter view fills this hard-difficulty pumpkin stencil, with wild flame-like hair, hollow sunken eye sockets, a sharp cheekbone, and an open fang-lined mouth all cut through as negative space. The remaining solid pumpkin flesh forms the angular features of a classic Dracula visage. Lit from behind, the empty eye sockets and open mouth glow fiercely. Carve the eye sockets and mouth interior before tackling the outer hair flames, so the face stays firmly anchored while you work the thin wispy points.
Velociraptor Pumpkin Stencil
A snarling velociraptor lunges forward on this dinosaur pumpkin stencil, its open jaws showing individual teeth, forelegs raised with curved claws, and a long stiff tail arcing behind. The design uses a mix of pierced negative space and thin pumpkin-wall bridges to define the body segments, so the lit jack-o-lantern shows the raptor as an orange figure ringed by dark gaps. Start by cutting the smallest interior tooth shapes and claw details before removing the large body sections, so the surrounding wall keeps the stencil stable throughout.
Velocity Boot Pumpkin Stencil
A bold running boot trails three sweeping gusts of wind. Download the pumpkin stencil with a visual cutout key and detailed carving instructions.
Velvet Swoop Bat Pumpkin Stencil
Print the Velvet Swoop Bat pumpkin stencil with a numbered cutting pattern and step-by-step guide. Easy design; print at actual size.
Vermont Pumpkin Stencil
Vermont's narrow, elongated state outline is pierced as a single open shape on this easy pumpkin stencil, showing the slightly irregular wavy eastern border, the smoother western edge along Lake Champlain, and the small northern bump where the Northeast Kingdom juts upward. Lit, it glows as a tall vertical window of light. Because Vermont's outline runs close to the top of a typical pumpkin curve, tape the stencil with the northern bump positioned at least an inch below the stem base to leave enough wall thickness.
Vermont State Shape
The tall, tapering outline of Vermont carved as a single bold cutout, wider across the Canadian border and narrowing down toward Massachusetts. The entire state shape is pierced through in one piece, so the map glows as a clean silhouette against untouched pumpkin skin. Because it is one large opening at medium difficulty, take the perimeter slowly and pay attention to the small notches along the eastern river border so the shape stays recognizable.
Vintage Calavera Pumpkin Stencil
A vintage sugar-skull-style face packed with detail: huge round eyes crossed by curved bars, arching brow flourishes, a diamond nose, ten scalloped tooth slots in a wide grin, and comma-shaped swirls framing the cheeks. Everything is cut through, with slim rind bridges holding the eye bars and tooth dividers in place. As an expert pattern, treat those bridges as sacred; cut away from them, never toward them, and remove waste in small pieces.
Vintage Squint Pumpkin Stencil
This vintage-style face uses two curved crescent eyes that seem to squint with delight, a small triangle nose, and a broad smile interrupted by one chunky hanging tooth. Every shape cuts fully through the wall, and the pieces are large enough that a keyhole saw handles them easily. Cut the inner curve of each crescent first so the thin points at the tips release cleanly without tearing.
Virginia Pumpkin Stencil
Virginia's wide, wedge-shaped state outline fills this easy pumpkin stencil, showing the long straight northern border, the ragged mountainous western edge, the sweeping diagonal southern coastline, and the distinctive narrow Eastern Shore peninsula extending to the right. The entire shape is cut as a single open silhouette. The thin Eastern Shore tip is the most fragile point in this carving, so cut toward that peninsula from the main body first and finish with the very tip to prevent it from snapping off mid-cut.
Virginia State Shape
The unmistakable outline of Virginia, from the jagged Appalachian border down to the Eastern Shore, carved as one large glowing silhouette. The entire state shape is cut through in a single piece while the surrounding pumpkin stays intact as the frame. The long narrow southern edge is the medium-level challenge here, so saw gently along that strip and push the piece out from inside.
Volleyball Pumpkin Stencil
A volleyball fills this easy pumpkin stencil from edge to edge, its circular outline and internal panel lines rendered in the classic three-curved-line pattern that divides the ball into panels. The wide panel sections are cut away, leaving the curved dividing strips as solid pumpkin flesh that forms the seam lines. When lit, the jack-o-lantern glows through the large open panels while the seam lines stay dark. Score along each curved seam line with a detail tool before cutting to keep the thin curved strips from tearing under the blade.
Voltage Bride Portrait Pumpkin Stencil
A portrait-style bust of the Bride of Frankenstein dominates this expert-level Frankenstein pumpkin stencil, her wild electrified hair radiating outward in dozens of jagged flame-like spikes. Solid gray masses define the face and shoulders, while the surrounding tendrils are carved as individual pierced channels that let candlelight filter through in a scattered, dramatic halo. Many of the hair tips are freestanding islands connected by thin pumpkin bridges. Carve the facial features and solid facial mass last, after clearing all the surrounding hair spikes, to avoid distorting the face while your hands are still working near it.
Walking Bear Silhouette
A bear strides across the pumpkin in full profile, head lowered slightly and all four legs mid-step. This is a shading pattern with no pierced holes: you shave the skin away inside the bear so the lighter flesh forms the whole animal in warm relief. Work from the spine outward in long strokes, and shave a touch deeper around the legs and muzzle so the outline stays well defined.
Walking Zombie Pumpkin Stencil
A stick-thin zombie figure lurches forward in mid-stride on this easy pumpkin stencil: arms outstretched and ragged, mouth open, body leaning with one leg lifted and tattered coat hem trailing behind. The silhouette is carved almost entirely as one connected void, with only a few narrow bridges at the coat flaps defining the outline against the solid pumpkin. Because the figure is tall and narrow, center it vertically on the pumpkin face and cut the wide torso section before the spindly arm extensions to avoid flexing the skin.
Washington State Pumpkin Stencil
Washington state's broad, nearly rectangular outline is cut as a single open shape on this easy pumpkin stencil, showing the slightly notched upper-left corner where the Olympic Peninsula juts north, the ragged lower-left coastline, and the otherwise straight eastern and southern borders. Lit, it produces a wide glowing window that is instantly readable as the Evergreen State. Because the shape is nearly as wide as it is tall, center it horizontally on the pumpkin face before tracing so the coastline notch does not run off either edge.
Wave Dancer Pumpkin Stencil
A dolphin arcs joyfully above two rolling waves, its curved body, dorsal fin, flippers, and smiling beak all drawn in bright shaded lines. The design uses skin-shave shading only, so you scrape away the outer skin along the dolphin and wave shapes while the wall stays solid. At medium difficulty, work the long body curve in one smooth continuous pass before adding the wave lines, which keeps the leap looking fluid.
Waving Whiskers Pumpkin Stencil
A seated cat in full silhouette with one front paw playfully raised, pointed ears alert, and a long fluffy tail curling up beside its body. The entire cat is cut through as a single connected opening, so the whole figure glows warmly against the evening sky. An easy carve with one caution: the raised paw and tail tip are the narrowest sections, so cut them last with short gentle strokes.
Waving Wispy Ghost
A friendly ghost with trailing wisps waves from the pumpkin, its oval eyes and mouth left as darker raised skin against the pale shaved body. There are no pierced openings; you peel the skin away inside the ghost outline so the flesh glows gently when lit. Shave in smooth, overlapping strokes and stop at the eye and mouth outlines so those features stay dark and crisp.
Weary Face Emoji Pumpkin Stencil
The weary face emoji is recreated here as a jack-o-lantern pumpkin stencil: a large circular face outline holds two sets of drooping curved eyebrow-and-eyelid pairs that express exhaustion, a wide open mouth with squared-off upper teeth, and a small chin sweat drop below. All the interior shapes are cut through as separate pieces nested inside the face circle. Carve the tiny sweat drop below the chin first since it is isolated and easy to lose track of, then work upward through the teeth, mouth, and finally the eye arcs.
Well I Never Pumpkin Stencil
Two wide oval eyes topped with arched eyebrows hover above a tall oval mouth frozen mid-gasp, giving the pumpkin a permanently astonished expression. The eyes, brows, and mouth are all clean cut-through openings with generous spacing between them. Easy carvers should cut the thin eyebrow arcs first while the wall is strongest, then remove the big ovals; angle the knife slightly outward so each plug pops free without bruising the edges.
Werewolf Face Pumpkin Stencil
A werewolf face in full-snarl fills the entire design with shaggy fur radiating outward in dozens of pointed spikes, wild round eyes, and a wide open mouth showing exposed fangs and tongue. The fur spikes are individually cut through and radiate from the face in all directions, creating an extremely dense, lacy pattern when lit. Work from the outer fur tips inward toward the face, cutting each spike cluster before moving to the face features; this keeps the many thin bridges between spikes intact and supported for as long as possible.
Werewolf Pumpkin Stencil
A snarling werewolf portrait fills this expert pumpkin stencil from collar to crown: matted fur radiates around the brow, small rounded ear nubs press against the sides of the skull, heavy brow ridges overhang narrow angular eye slits, and bared fangs show at the lower lip. The face is built from many floating islands of pumpkin skin held together by thin bridges, so lit from within every feature reads in warm orange relief against the glowing gaps. Work from the smallest detail shapes outward, leaving the large forehead and cheek sections until last so the bridges keep all floating pieces locked in place.
