Round-Cheek Two-Tooth Clown
This goofy clown face stacks triangle eyes over a big round nose, two glowing cheek circles, and a wide banana grin with two square buck teeth hanging down. All the openings are simple cut-through shapes with plenty of space between them, which makes it a friendly first carve. Cut the smallest pieces first, the teeth notches, before removing the big mouth so the wall stays sturdy.
Round-Eyed Cat With Whiskers
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.
Round-Eyed Clown With Brows
A cheerful clown face with raised curving brows, big round eyes, a round button nose, small dot cheeks, and a huge sweeping smile. Every feature is a straightforward cut-through opening, and the little cheek dots on each side add extra sparkle at night. At medium difficulty the challenge is spacing: transfer the stencil carefully so the brows sit clear of the eyes, then drill the small dots with a pumpkin drill or apple corer for perfect circles.
Round-Eyed Dripping Grin
A gleefully sinister face with huge round eyes topped by curling, hooked brows, a small skull-style nose, and an enormous crescent grin edged with thin dripping tooth spikes. Every element is cut through, and the narrow drip slits along the mouth are what earn the hard rating. Carve the big eye and mouth openings first, then cut the fragile tooth drips last with a fine saw so they do not snap.
Round-Eyed Kitten and Whiskers
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.
Round-Eyed Simple Smile
The friendliest face on the porch: two big round eyes above one broad crescent smile, and nothing else. All three shapes are full cut-throughs, so the whole design glows warm and even. With only three openings and no sharp corners, this is a perfect first carve; keep the saw moving in smooth curves and pop each piece out from the inside for the cleanest edges.
Running Dinosaur and Long Tail
A velociraptor sprints across the pumpkin in full silhouette, head low, clawed legs mid-stride, and its long tail sweeping behind for balance. The entire dinosaur cuts through as one glowing shape, with the narrow tail and slim legs providing the medium challenge. Carve the thin tail and leg sections first in short segments, then remove the large body last so the delicate extremities are never left unsupported.
S-Curve Snake
A thick snake winds through a bold S curve, its tapered head at the top and tail flicking out at the base, all carved as a single flowing opening. The whole serpent shape is cut through, so one continuous ribbon of light snakes across the pumpkin after dark. Because it is a single aperture with no fragile bridges, this easy design just needs slow steady knife work around the curves.
Sad Ghost Pumpkin Stencil
Two drooping teardrop eyes, a tiny pierced heart for a nose, and a jagged zigzag mouth give this ghost jack-o-lantern pumpkin stencil its mournful expression. All five cut pieces are bold and generously sized, making them straightforward to carve cleanly. The small heart is the trickiest element; cut its two lobes with short inward strokes meeting at the bottom point so the tip stays crisp rather than tearing.
Saguaro with Desert Sun
A tall saguaro cactus with two upraised arms stands over a desert floor of scrub grass, scattered stones, and a distant ridge, with a round sun hanging in the sky. The whole southwestern scene is skin-shave shading: each element is peeled to pale flesh while the pumpkin wall stays sealed. At medium difficulty, peel the big cactus trunk in long vertical strokes to mimic its natural ribs, then add the small ground details last.
Sailboat With Pennant
A little ship glows on the pumpkin with two triangular sails split by a tall mast, a small pennant flying at the top, and a wide trapezoid hull below. Each sail, the flag, and the hull are separate cut-through openings, with skin bridges forming the mast and boom lines between them. This easy design suits young pirates and first-time carvers; cut the small pennant first while the wall is sturdy, then the sails, then the big hull last.
Saturn Pumpkin Stencil
Saturn's ringed profile rendered in a loose, sketchy style fills this expert space pumpkin stencil, with the planet body shown as a series of jagged horizontal band cuts and the elliptical ring system sweeping through as two curving arcs, all separated by thin skin bridges that suggest atmospheric cloud layers. The ring bands are the trickiest element: each arc is a narrow, isolated strip that connects to the planet body only at two small points. Cut the planet body bands first, working from the equator outward toward the poles, then carefully score the ring arcs from their inner connection points toward the outer tips.
Sauropod Dinosaur Pumpkin Stencil
A chubby cartoon sauropod dinosaur faces left in this pumpkin stencil, its long curved neck arching upward to a round head with a tiny roaring mouth, while the body is covered in a cluster of pierced circular spots of varying sizes. Stubby legs and a long sweeping tail complete the outline silhouette. Cut the circular body spots from largest to smallest so the surrounding orange wall stays strongest while you work toward the smaller, more fragile dot cuts.
Scalloped-Wing Bat
A wide-winged bat hangs in the center of a glowing scalloped panel, its scalloped wing edges and small round eyes standing out in dark relief. You shave the skin away around the bat so the shape stays raw pumpkin while the shaved field lights up behind it. Keep your shading depth even across the whole panel so the backlight glows uniformly around those wing scallops.
Scarecrow Face Pumpkin Stencil
Two large round eyes with small eyebrow hooks above each, a pair of pointed teardrop nostrils, and a wide toothy grin with sharp downward-pointing fangs give this scarecrow face its slightly sinister character on this easy pumpkin stencil. All cut pieces are chunky and well-separated, making this a comfortable carve despite its spooky look. To keep the row of fang tips from chipping, make the two vertical cuts on each fang before the horizontal base cut that frees the piece.
Scarecrow Pumpkin Stencil
A friendly scarecrow stands arms-out in classic T-pose: a brimmed hat with a small torn-corner flap, a round face with X eyes and a stitched-line smile, a necktie, straw tufts poking from the sleeves and hem, and a central post below the body. The design uses a mix of open cuts for the background spaces and solid orange bridges that form the straw strands, clothing triangles, and facial features. When lit, the scarecrow appears as a warm silhouette with the straw tufts back-lit individually. Cut the small X-eye shapes and the stitched smile first, as these tiny marks are hardest to control once surrounding material is removed.
Scary Clown Pumpkin Stencil
A snarling clown jack-o-lantern face fills this hard-level pumpkin stencil, with wild flame-like tufts of hair radiating from both sides, a menacing brow ridge, swirling round eyes with small pupils, and a wide mouth packed with jagged triangular teeth. The dense ring of hair pieces are cut through while the circular eye centers and curved nose remain as solid orange bridges. Cut the central face shapes first, then work outward to the individual hair flames so each spike stays supported until the very end.
Scary Jack-o-Lantern Face Pumpkin Stencil
A grinning jack-o-lantern face carved onto a jack-o-lantern makes this a pumpkin-within-a-pumpkin design: a wide ovoid pumpkin shape with a stubby stem has a furious face of angled triangular eyes, heavy brow cuts, and two rows of large zigzag teeth separated by a thick horizontal lip band. All the face features are cut through as open shapes. Carve the inner tooth gaps first, since they sit between two rows that span the widest open area, then release the eye triangles and brow cuts last to keep the upper face stable.
Scary Text Pumpkin Stencil
The word "Scary" is rendered in a dripping, horror-movie hand lettering style and set inside a speech bubble outline made of jagged, claw-like strokes in this hard pumpkin stencil. The letter forms themselves are cut through while the speech bubble border stays solid, so candlelight glows through the word while the ragged bubble outline frames it in orange. The thin descenders on the letters, particularly the tail of the "y" and the base of the "S," are the most fragile bridges; cut those last after the letter interiors are already free.
Schnauzer Pumpkin Stencil
A side-profile schnauzer silhouette with a beard, bushy eyebrows, and perky ears stands as the main cut-through shape in this easy dog pumpkin stencil. A separate tail piece and a small heart cutout on the dog's side complete the design; the heart stays as solid pumpkin wall inside an open negative-space frame. The carved pumpkin shows the schnauzer in bold orange relief against a dark background. Cut the heart outline early while the pumpkin is still firm, since the thin wall forming the heart border is the most fragile element in the design.
Scorpion with Curled Tail
A menacing scorpion with pincers spread wide, eight angled legs, a segmented body, and a tail curling up to a poised stinger. The entire creature is shaded work: each segment and claw is shaved to glowing flesh while the skin between stays dark, giving the body its armored look. Carve the segment gaps as narrow untouched skin lines, working from the body outward so the skinny legs keep clean edges.
Screaming Emoji Pumpkin Stencil
The screaming face emoji is translated into this jack-o-lantern pumpkin stencil as a wide circular head with two large oval eyes, a rectangular open mouth, two small cheek shapes at the sides, and a row of drippy stalactite shapes hanging from the top of the head. All cut elements are bold and rounded with generous spacing between them, making the design beginner-friendly despite the number of pieces. Cut the small cheek ovals before the large eye ovals so they are supported by the intact surrounding flesh when the blade passes close.
Screaming Face Pumpkin Stencil
A screaming man's face, rendered with wild tufted hair radiating outward in jagged spikes, fills this expert-level pumpkin stencil. The wide open mouth, squinting brow, and deeply shadowed cheeks are built from interlocking curved cut-through shapes separated by thin orange bridges that define the facial planes. The radiating hair spikes are particularly slender at their tips. Work the hair tips first with a narrow blade, then carve the facial features from the forehead down, saving the large mouth cavity for last so it doesn't weaken the surrounding wall prematurely.
Screaming Ghost Face Pumpkin Stencil
This ghost-face pumpkin stencil features a wide screaming mouth that dominates the lower half of the composition, flanked by two swept, comma-shaped eyes and a small heart-shaped nose. Small curved accent marks at the corners add a theatrically startled expression. The mouth is a single large open cut that glows intensely, while the eyes and nose are smaller pierced shapes separated by solid skin. Cut the nose and accent marks before the large mouth so you have a stable surface to brace against.
Sea Monster Pumpkin Stencil
A stylized deep-sea creature face stares from this pumpkin stencil, its triangular hooded head framing two bulbous, tentacle-ringed eyes and a beaked mouth below, with two sets of curved claw-like appendages at the bottom. The large triangular head opening is the primary cut-out that floods the design with candlelight, while the eyes with their frilled tentacle edges remain as detailed solid islands within it. Carve the eye tentacle frills with a fine blade before opening the surrounding triangle, so those delicate projections have wall support behind them.
Sea Turtle Pumpkin Stencil
A sea turtle viewed from above fills this pumpkin stencil, with four swept-back flippers and a dome-shaped shell covered in roughly twenty interlocking polygonal plates, each plate a separate cut piece separated by thin lines of uncut pumpkin. The resulting jack-o-lantern glows through every shell segment individually, mapping out the turtle's scute pattern in orange-framed light. Cut the smallest outer-edge shell plates first since they have the least surrounding support, then work inward toward the larger central scutes.
Sea Urchin Pumpkin Stencil
A stylized sea-urchin or crown-of-thorns creature gazes out from this hard-level pumpkin stencil, with five rows of triangular spines radiating above a cute wide-eyed face: two large round eyes accented by lash-like lines, two nostril dots, a small open mouth, and curved tentacle arms spreading at the bottom. Each triangular spine and the large rectangular tooth shapes are cut away so candlelight shoots upward through the spines while the eyes and mouth glow below. Pierce the tiny nostril dots and lash-line cuts first while the face is still fully rigid.
Seahorse with a Ribbed Fan
An elegant seahorse posed upright with a ridged, segmented body, a ribbed fan fin on its back, and a tail that coils into a tight spiral. This is a shading pattern: you carve away skin at varying shallow depths to sculpt the plates, fin ribs, and curl while the wall stays solid. Rated hard for its fine detail, it rewards a light touch; work the tiny tail spiral with a small gouge last.
Seahorse with Ten Raw Plates
An elegant seahorse curls down the pumpkin in profile, its coronet, snout, banded belly plates, back fin, and spiral tail all rendered in carved relief. This is a shading design: the body is shaved to a pale glow while the plate lines and outline are left or scraped at different depths for dimension, with no pierced openings. Rated hard for its fine segmentation, shave the belly bands one at a time and keep each dividing ridge intact.
Seal Outline & Whiskers
A playful seal rendered in flowing line art, propped up on its front flippers with whiskers, a bright eye, and body contours traced in glowing strokes. Nothing is cut through; you shave the skin along each outline so the lines light up like neon while the wall stays solid. Since medium-difficulty shading rewards steady hands, score the outlines with a knife tip first, then widen them evenly with a small gouge.
Seated Capybara with Smile
The internet's favorite chill rodent sits in calm profile, its whole rounded body glowing warmly with a small dark eye and nostril left as untouched spots of skin. Rather than piercing the wall, you shave the capybara's full silhouette down to the inner flesh so it lights up as one soft shape. For this medium shading carve, peel the big body areas with a flat scraper, thin them evenly, and leave the eye and nose dots strictly alone.
Seated Cat with Upright Tail
A seated cat in profile, ears pricked and long tail curling upward, cut entirely through so the whole silhouette becomes a window of warm light. The design has no interior details, which keeps it simple, but the slender curved tail asks for a little care. An easy carve overall; save the tail for last and support the wall with your free hand as you follow its curve so the tip stays intact.
Seated Dog with Bone and Dots
A patient pup sits in profile, ears perked and tail resting, while a bone floats nearby with a trail of small dream-bubble dots connecting them. The dog's body, the bone, and the dots are all cut fully through as bold, separate openings, so the scene reads instantly from the street. This easy design has no fragile interior bridges; just cut the large dog body in two or three sections and pop the bone and dots out last for a tidy finish.
Seated Puppy with Two Hearts
A floppy-eared puppy sits in profile, tail up, while two hearts float above its nose like puppy love made visible. The dog silhouette and both hearts are cut fully through, so the whole scene glows in warm friendly light with the pumpkin rind forming the night around it. This easy pattern is great for kids with supervision; carve the two small hearts first for practice, then tackle the big puppy shape in comfortable sections.
Seated Rabbit with Split Ears
A seated rabbit in profile with two tall split ears, a rounded back, and tucked front paws, cut through as a nearly single silhouette with slim gaps defining the ears and feet. The shell around the bunny stays whole so the glowing shape reads crisply from a distance. Carve the narrow gap between the ears first; it is the finest cut on an otherwise smooth outline.
See-No-Evil Monkey Pumpkin Stencil
The see-no-evil monkey emoji is rendered as a wide face with two large hands pressed over the eyes and two banana-shaped ears flaring out, with a broad smile, round nose dots, and small cheek details visible below the hands in this hard pumpkin stencil. The overlapping hand fingers create a dense grid of narrow cut channels across the upper half of the design. Work the individual finger slots from the center outward so each completed cut is braced by uncut pumpkin on at least one side.
