Jolly Roger with Cutlasses Pumpkin Stencil
A classic Jolly Roger design fills this pumpkin stencil: a grinning skull topped by a pirate hat bearing a tiny skull-and-crossbones badge sits above two crossed cutlass swords with curled hand-guards. The eye sockets, the hat badge, the small triangular nose cavity, and the gaps between the sword blades are all pierced through. Cut the miniature hat badge first since it is the most delicate isolated element, then the eye sockets and sword gaps, before finishing with the outer hat and blade silhouette.
Kansas Heart Lettering
A glowing I, a full heart, and the letters K and S stacked beneath, spelling out love for Kansas in chunky serif type. All four elements are simple cut-throughs, which keeps this one easy despite looking polished. Transfer the pattern carefully so the letters stay level, cut each letter's inside corners with the tip of the saw, and open the big heart last since it is the largest and most forgiving shape.
Kansas State Shape Pumpkin Stencil
Kansas appears as a nearly perfect rectangle on this pumpkin stencil, distinguished by a small notched step in the upper-right corner where the state's northeastern border jogs to follow the Missouri River. The entire shape is cut as one large open window, making this one of the broadest single-piece openings in any state stencil. Because the wide horizontal cut-out can weaken the pumpkin, place a support skewer through the pumpkin's interior wall before carving to keep the top from sagging while you work the lower edge.
Kawaii Acorn Pumpkin Stencil
A kawaii-style acorn character fills the stencil: the domed cap is covered in a dense diamond lattice of cut-out shapes, while the rounded body below carries two crescent-shaped eyes, a small curved smile, and delicate arm curves along each side. Lit from within, the hatched cap glows like a lantern screen and the face reads warmly against the solid body. Carve the lattice diamonds from the center of the cap outward, and avoid cutting the thin grid lines between them until all surrounding diamonds are removed.
Kawaii Burger Pumpkin Stencil
A kawaii-style cheeseburger with a sesame-seed bun, two wavy patty layers, and a smiling face with spiral eyes fills this easy food pumpkin stencil, its stacked layers translated into a series of bold horizontal cuts separated by solid pumpkin-skin ridges. The round sesame seeds on the bun are punched as individual small circles, and the curly eyes and smile arc are cut as open shapes inside the bun half. Punch all the seed holes first with a small drill bit or apple-corer tip before cutting the long horizontal bun and patty slots, so the surrounding wall stays firm while you place those precise dots.
Kawaii Candy Corn Pumpkin Stencil
A kawaii candy corn character fills this pumpkin stencil, with a wide triangular body divided into two large cut-out sections and a solid mid-stripe band that holds a pair of circular eyes and a curved smile. The two open panels at top and bottom glow brightly when lit, while the pumpkin-colored face strip stays solid, making the cute expression pop in candlelight. Cut the smaller eye circles last to avoid weakening the surrounding pumpkin skin before the big panels come out.
Kawaii Mushroom Pumpkin Stencil
A kawaii-style mushroom character fills this hard pumpkin stencil, with a broad spotted cap, small horns or fins at the sides, and a round face below it showing large anime eyes and a tiny curved mouth. The cap spots are solid orange circles against a pierced cap background, and the face details are fine interior cuts within the solid round head. Carve the small circular spots on the cap before removing the large open cap area, so those circles have firm pumpkin wall behind them while you make the precise cuts.
Kawaii Pizza Slice Pumpkin Stencil
A kawaii pizza slice takes center stage in this pumpkin stencil: the triangular slice has a curved crust bar across the top, a cute face with crescent-shaped eyes and a small smile, circular pepperoni cutouts, and two thin diagonal lines suggesting arms. All the face features, pepperoni circles, and the space surrounding the slice are pierced through, while the slice outline and crust shape remain solid. Cut the tiny crescent eyes and smile first before the circular pepperoni holes, which are easier to control while the surrounding skin is still intact.
Kentucky Heart Lettering
Bold block lettering spells out I, a big heart, and KY across two rows, declaring love for the Bluegrass State in glowing letters. Each letter and the heart are cut fully through, and the chunky serif strokes are wide enough to saw comfortably even for newer carvers. Print at full size and transfer carefully so the letters stay aligned, then cut each stroke from the inside corners outward.
Kentucky State Shape Pumpkin Stencil
Kentucky's silhouette on this pumpkin stencil is immediately recognizable: a wide horizontal shape with a jagged, highly irregular northern border formed by the Ohio and Big Sandy River lines, a relatively smooth southern edge, and a narrow western tail that extends down and to the left. The northern border has the most intricate linework of any state stencil in this series; work those small notches with a narrow pointed blade, making short plunge cuts at each concave corner rather than trying to sweep around them.
Kiss Emoji Pumpkin Stencil
The love heart kiss emoji fills the design: a round yellow face in profile with one visible winking eye, rosy cheek, puckered kissing lips, and a heart shape floating beside the mouth. The face is set against a large circular pierced background, with the facial features rendered as solid orange islands within the opening. The tiny oval winking-eye island and the small heart shape are the parts most likely to fall out during carving; cut the large circular outer ring last so the wall holds those islands in place until they are secured by their surrounding bridges.
Kitten Pumpkin Stencil
A chubby kitten head in silhouette is the subject of this easy cat pumpkin stencil, showing one ear, a round face, and a small curled tail peeking below, with four delicate whisker lines extending from either side. The main body is cut away as one large opening; the whisker lines are narrow positive strips of pumpkin skin that must not be cut. When carving, leave the whisker lines until you have removed the large body void on each side, then carefully define their outer edges with a single shallow scoring pass.
Kitten with Long Whiskers
A sweet kitten face with pointed ear triangles, big almond eyes, a small triangle nose, extra-long whisker slits sweeping from each cheek, and a dainty curled smile beneath. All features are pierced through, and the long thin whiskers are what nudge this to medium difficulty. Cut each whisker as one smooth continuous stroke rather than sawing back and forth, and the slits will glow as fine clean lines.
Knight on Horseback Pumpkin Stencil
A mounted knight in full armor charges across this hard pumpkin stencil: a plumed helmet, a raised sword pointing upward, a shield on the left arm, and a rearing horse with flowing mane and tail all read as a single bold silhouette. The composition is cut as one large negative space with only the sword blade, the shield, and the horse's legs as internal solid elements connected by thin skin bridges. Carve the outer silhouette edge first to release the large background, then carefully free the sword blade from top to tip while keeping the shield bridge intact.
Ladybug Pumpkin Stencil
A plump ladybug viewed from above fills this cheerful pumpkin stencil, its round spotted body divided by a center-line ridge and ringed by a curved outline, while a decorative curling head with antennae sits at upper right. The circular spots are the cut-through elements that blaze as glowing dots; the outer body outline and dividing ridge stay solid. To keep the smaller spots from cracking inward, cut the largest center spot first, then work outward to the progressively smaller ones.
Landing Crow Pumpkin Stencil
A crow lands with wings spread wide in this pumpkin stencil, its whole body carved as a single flowing silhouette: broad fanned primary feathers stretch across the top, the compact body curves in the center, and sharp talons reach downward at the bottom. The entire bird shape is one large open cutout, so the glow forms a clean winged-bird shadow on the pumpkin's orange skin at the edges. The outermost wing-tip feathers taper to fine points, so trace and cut those tips before sawing into the larger body to prevent cracking the thin ends.
Large Heart and Two Paw Prints
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.
Layered Compass Star Relief
A layered compass-rose mandala: an eight-point star nests inside a larger star, all wrapped in a ring of carved circles and framed by a shaved border medallion. The entire design is relief work at several depths with no pierced openings, which is why it rates expert. Establish the shallowest background layer first, then step each inner layer progressively deeper so the star points read as crisp raised facets.
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.
Leaning Eyes and Square Teeth
The timeless jack-o'-lantern: two leaning triangle eyes, a triangle nose, and a huge crescent grin interrupted by two blocky square teeth, one up and one down. Everything is a straightforward cut-through, which is exactly why this face has been a first-timer favorite for generations. Cut the mouth last and leave the tooth tabs generous; you can always trim a tooth thinner, but you cannot put pumpkin back.
Leaping Dolphin & Two Waves
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.
Leaping Gymnast with Stars
A gymnast soars in a full split leap, one arm reaching skyward toward a trail of stars and a curved comet streak behind her. The whole figure is a shaded carve on a continuous wall, shaving the skin so the silhouette glows without any pierced holes, which preserves the slender arms and pointed toes. Shave the thin limbs in light passes with a small loop tool, since going too deep on those narrow lines risks breaking through.
Leering Eyes and Crooked Nose
Slanted leering eyes with attached round pupils glare above a crooked off-center nose and a jagged sneer packed with pointed fangs, while scattered diamond scars glint across both cheeks. The eyes, nose, mouth, and diamonds are pierced with pupils and fang points left as shell. The hard part is the web of narrow fangs; cut each tooth gap from tip to base and never twist the blade mid-cut.
Left Wink and Six Cheek Wedges
A playful winking jack-o'-lantern: one big round open eye, one arched wink, a triangle nose, and a smiling mouth with blocky teeth, all framed by three thin whisker-like wedges slashed across each cheek. Every opening is cut through, and the six cheek wedges throw extra slivers of light. At medium difficulty, cut the large features first and finish with the skinny cheek slits, using a fine saw so each wedge tapers to a clean point.
Left-Facing Hammerhead Shark
A left-facing hammerhead shark in full profile, wide head, tall dorsal fin, and swept tail, finished with three short gill slashes behind the head. The whole body is a shaded shape: you peel the skin inside the outline down to pale flesh and leave the pumpkin wall intact. Shave with the grain in long horizontal strokes to keep the body smooth, then deepen the gill lines and eye dot last for contrast.
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.
Lightning Bolt and Three Dots
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.
Lightning Bolt and Two Stars
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.
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.
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 Etched Hedgehog
A sweet little hedgehog shown in profile, with a pointed snout, a dot eye, tiny feet, and a back full of spiky quills rendered as star-like bursts. Nothing is pierced; you shave away only the outer skin inside the outline so the pale flesh forms the hedgehog against the dark rind. Use a shallow loop tool and keep an even depth so the quill points stay crisp.
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.
Long Dog with Three Short Feet
A full-body dachshund silhouette trots across the pumpkin, long low back, floppy ear, upturned tail, and short legs all captured in one clean glowing shape. The entire dog is removed as a single cut-through, so light floods the whole outline. This easy design has just one tricky zone: the narrow gaps between the legs. Cut the big body outline first, then carve carefully around each leg so the slim wall strips between them survive.
