Smiling Arches and Leaf Ring
A mischievous crescent-eyed grin packed with individual teeth sits inside a full ring of diamond and leaf-shaped cutouts, with dozens of small dots sparkling between them. Every element is pierced through, and the sheer number of tiny openings is what earns the expert rating. Drill all the dots first, then saw the border shapes, saving the big fragile mouth for the very end.
Smiling Emoji Pumpkin Stencil
A round smiley-face emoji with tousled hair rendered in chunky pumpkin-skin islands fills a large circular cutout on this emoji pumpkin stencil, with squinting eye arcs and a wide open-toothed grin kept as uncut bridges glowing warm orange against the lit void. The outer circle is the single largest cut, and the interior face elements are held in place by the skin bridges. Carve the interior details first, starting with the two small eye-crescent cuts, then the mouth gap, and only after those are complete open the big circular surround to avoid the face islands shifting.
Smiling Narwhal & Two Fins
A smiling narwhal glides across the pumpkin with a long spiral tusk, two side fins, and a happy upturned mouth. The whole body is skin-shave work with no pierced holes, so the pale shaved shape stands out against the dark rind by day and glows gently with a light inside. On this medium shading design, etch the thin tusk and smile lines first with a fine V-tool, then clear the wide body area so you never drag a big tool across your detail lines.
Smiling Oval Alien Face
A big-eyed alien stares out from a smooth oval head, framed by a bold outline band that arcs over the brow. The huge almond eyes, brow lines, nostril dots, mouth, and head outline are all pierced through, with small connecting tabs holding the face pieces to the shell. Do not cut those tabs: the little bridges are what keep the eyes and outline from collapsing inward.
Smiling Sea Turtle
A smiling sea turtle paddles across the pumpkin, its patterned shell divided into glowing plates while thin ribbons of skin stay in place to draw the head, flippers, and shell segments. This is a shading-style design carved on a continuous wall, so you shave away the skin rather than piercing holes, letting the whole turtle glow softly. Shave in thin layers and test with a light often until the flippers and shell panels shine evenly.
Snail Pumpkin Stencil
A giant snail is the surprising subject here: a segmented spiral shell packed with dashed arc cutouts occupies most of the design, while the snail's body stretches out to the right and two small eyestalks rise from the head. The shell is built from concentric broken rings that leave thin solid bridges between segments, and the effect when lit is an intricate circular lantern orbited by a slow-moving creature. Cut the outermost arc segments of the shell first and work inward toward the central solid disc so the bridges hold until last.
Snake with Forked Tongue
A serpent winds across the pumpkin in three graceful S-curves, its head raised with a forked tongue flicking out and its whole body filled with a diamond scale pattern. The design is continuous-wall shading, so the snake is shaved into the skin at varied depths with no pierced holes. Rated hard because of the scales: peel the full body smooth first, then press in the scale texture row by row with a small gouge.
Snarling Bat Pumpkin Stencil
A wide-winged bat stretches nearly edge to edge in this easy bat pumpkin stencil, its wing panels divided by bold vein lines and a snarling cartoon face centered in the body. The wings are the large pierced areas that glow brightest, while the vein lines and the face details remain as solid orange strips inside the cutout. Carve the small pointed fangs in the face before tackling the big wing panels, so the blade has firm pumpkin wall support when making those fine cuts.
Snarling Rat Pumpkin Stencil
A snarling rat pumpkin stencil rendered in detailed linework shows the animal rearing up on its hind legs, front paws raised, with a long curving tail sweeping to the left, ragged fur along the spine, clawed feet, and an open mouth with visible teeth. Dozens of short cut lines define the fur texture and claws, leaving narrow orange ridges between them, so the finished jack-o-lantern reads as a detailed fur-covered creature rather than a flat silhouette. Work in sections from the tail outward, cutting fur-texture lines in short strokes rather than single long passes to avoid splitting the thin ridges.
Snarling Split-Mouth Face
This snarling jack-o'-lantern glares through slanted, angry eyes above a flared triangular nose and a huge split mouth bristling with long fangs and jagged lower teeth. The eyes, nose, and mouth are all cut through, while thin skin bridges hold each fang in place against the glow. Rated hard because of those narrow tooth bridges; carve the fangs last with a fine saw and leave extra width until the final pass.
Snarling Wolf Face Pumpkin Stencil
A wolf face stares straight forward in this hard pumpkin stencil, its large triangular ears open and pierced, its almond-shaped eyes cut through, and its muzzle parted to reveal a fanged open mouth. The fur around the face is rendered as jagged zigzag edges, and the nose bridge and cheek ruff details are a mix of solid and cut sections that read as fur texture when lit. Carve the two thin lightning-bolt-shaped brow marks above the eyes before removing the larger eye cutouts, as they are the most fragile narrow strips in the design.
Sneering Fangs and Slanted Eyes
A sinister face with narrow slanted eyes, a slim angled nose, and a wide sneering mouth bristling with pointed fangs top and bottom. Eyes, nose, and mouth are pierced clean through, with the fang shapes left as solid teeth jutting into the glowing opening. Even though it rates easy, the fang tips are fragile; cut each tooth from base to point and let the waste fall away instead of pulling it free.
Snowcap Peaks and Moon
A wide arched window is carved through the pumpkin with three mountain peaks left standing in dark silhouette, while a full moon glows from a separate round opening above. The sky area around the peaks gets cut away and small snowcap notches pierce the summits, so light outlines the whole range. Keep the peak silhouettes attached at the base as you saw the sky sections, since they anchor the entire scene.
Soccer Ball Pumpkin Stencil
A soccer ball rendered as a flat stencil pattern takes up the full face of this pumpkin carving design, with a central pentagon surrounded by curved hexagonal panels that radiate outward to the edges. The pentagon and several panel sections are cut through, while the curved connecting lines between panels remain as solid orange bridges, recreating the look of a classic black-and-white ball when lit. Carve the central pentagon first, then cut each surrounding hexagonal section in a clockwise order to keep even tension on the skin bridges.
Soccer Player Pumpkin Stencil
A chibi-style bearded soccer player in a striped jersey stands with a ball tucked under one arm and his other hand on his hip in this expert sports pumpkin stencil, with a detailed face, layered hair, jersey stripes, and individual fingers all rendered in fine linework. When lit, the figure glows in silhouette with the face and jersey detail visible as pumpkin-skin relief. Start with the most detailed facial features, particularly the brow, ear, and beard cuts, before working downward through the jersey stripes and ball pentagon pattern.
Sombrero Pumpkin Stencil
A wide-brimmed sombrero fills this pumpkin stencil, its high rounded crown pierced as one large cutout and the broad brim divided by a decorative band of repeating V-shaped notches that form a row of open triangles along the lower edge. The hat brim is the negative-space opening, and the triangular notches add festive detail within it. Cut the triangular notches along the band first, from the center outward in each direction, so the thin pumpkin teeth between them remain stable while you remove the larger crown and brim sections.
Sorrow Brows and Falling Tears
A theatrically miserable face with layered droopy brow wrinkles stacked like ribs above two barred, half-lidded eyes, a long drooping nose, and a deep striped frown, all surrounded by cascading columns of teardrops. Every wrinkle, bar, and tear is cut through, creating an ornate pattern of dozens of small openings. This expert carve is all about sequence: work from the center outward and leave the fragile tear columns at the edges for last.
South Carolina Heart Lettering
State pride spelled out plainly: a bold serif I, a big glowing heart, and the letters SC stacked in two rows across the pumpkin face. Each letter and the heart cut fully through, and the thick strokes make this an easy lettering carve with no fragile pieces. Cut the heart's top notch first to set its shape, then saw each letter stroke in straight runs, squaring the serifs from inside the openings.
South Carolina Pumpkin Stencil
The irregular outline of South Carolina, with its distinctive concave upper coastline notch and the jagged Sea Islands fringe along the lower right shore, is carved as a single pierced shape in this state pumpkin stencil. The entire interior is cut away, leaving only the border outline as the light-emitting shape. The lower coastal edge has the most complex jagged detailing, so cut that stretch last after the smoother inland borders are done, allowing maximum wall stability while navigating the short irregular coastal cuts.
South Carolina State Shape
South Carolina's distinctive triangle-like outline carved as one large glowing cutout, with the ragged coastal edge along the bottom right. The whole state shape is removed so light floods through it, while the rest of the pumpkin stays solid. The wavy coastline detail is where most of the work lives; use short sawing strokes and keep the blade upright so the little inlets stay defined instead of tearing.
South Dakota Pumpkin Stencil
South Dakota's near-rectangular outline, with its straight top and left borders and a stepped notch along the upper right where the Missouri River forms the border, plus a small jagged peninsula at the lower right, makes up this clean state pumpkin stencil. Almost all the edges are straight or gently curved, making this one of the more approachable state silhouette carves. Score and cut the straight left and top borders first since they set your orientation, then work around the subtle river-step notch and the irregular lower-right point last.
South Dakota State Shape
The full silhouette of South Dakota is cut through the pumpkin wall, glowing as one clean rectangular shape with the Missouri River notch tracing its jagged southeastern corner. Everything inside the border is removed, so the state reads instantly from across the yard. The medium rating comes from those small river-line zigzags; cut the long straight edges first, then slow down and nibble the notched corner in short strokes.
Spider Emblem Pumpkin Stencil
A stylized spider rendered as a graphic emblem fills this easy stencil: the body is split into a large oval abdomen and a smaller rounded head kept solid as orange pumpkin, while the eight legs radiate outward as broad curved blades that taper to sharp points, all backed by cut-out negative space. The overall silhouette has a bold, almost logo-like quality that glows dramatically when lit. Leave the narrow waist bridge connecting the head to the abdomen until last, since removing adjacent leg gaps early can put stress on that small connector.
Spider Pumpkin Stencil
A large, wide-legged spider dominates this beginner spider pumpkin stencil. Eight straight angular legs radiate from a round body at center, and a small rounded head sits just above the abdomen, both carved as a solid silhouette island connected to the surrounding pumpkin only by the gaps between each leg segment. When lit, the dark spider shape floats against a glowing orange field created by the large open spaces around and between each leg. Start by cutting the long outer leg segments first so the body stays supported until the final cuts.
Spider Silhouette Pumpkin Stencil
A bold overhead-view spider silhouette with eight long tapering legs and a rounded abdomen below a smaller cephalothorax forms this easy spider pumpkin stencil, the entire body pierced through as one large connected cutout. The legs splay outward symmetrically, spanning nearly the full width of the design. Because the whole shape is one continuous cut, the chief challenge is the narrow neck pinch between the two body sections; cut that junction slowly with a fine blade to keep both halves from separating before you are done.
Spider Web Pumpkin Stencil
An expert-level spider web pumpkin stencil featuring a large radiating cobweb that fills the pumpkin face, with concentric rings connected by curved spoke segments creating dozens of small trapezoidal cells to cut through. A small cartoonish spider with round body and eight outstretched legs sits in the lower right corner. The web structure stays intact because the solid spokes and ring arcs are left as orange skin while every cell between them is pierced. Work from the center hub outward ring by ring, finishing the spider body last since its legs are the most fragile pieces.
Spiky Spider Pumpkin Stencil
A front-facing spider with a cartoon scowl and spiky, porcupine-like hair fills this hard spider pumpkin stencil. The round, spiky abdomen is encircled by a ring of radiating spike-like projections, and four angular legs extend from each side within an outer octagonal border. The face detail consists of two teardrop-shaped eyes and a frowning mouth, all carved as open shapes inside the solid round body. When lit, the spiky halo around the body glows intensely. Carve the outer octagonal border ring first, then the leg pairs, before finishing the delicate face cutouts inside the central body.
Spiral Galaxy and Four Stars
A sweeping spiral galaxy with two luminous arms curling around a bright core, surrounded by four-point stars and a scatter of small stardust dots. The entire scene is skin-shave work with no pierced holes: the arms are shaved wide and shallow while the dots and stars are picked out individually. An expert pattern because of its long tapering curves; keep your gouge moving in smooth continuous strokes along each arm.
Split Tooth and Two Sparkles
A giant molar with a split between its two roots gleams at the center, flanked by a four-point sparkle on each side and two small dot accents. The tooth outline is cut through around its lobed crown and twin roots, and the sparkles and dots are pierced as well, making a bright emblem any dentist would love. At medium difficulty, the pinch between the roots is the tightest cut, so saw into that notch from both sides and go slow.
Split-Nose Zigzag Frown
A classic angry jack-o'-lantern face with two sharp slanted eyes, a split two-part nose, and a jagged zigzag frown of pointed teeth. All five openings are cut straight through the wall, leaving the rest of the pumpkin untouched for maximum contrast. It is an easy pattern with only a handful of pieces, so take your time on the zigzag mouth and cut each tooth point cleanly before pushing the waste piece out.
Spoked Eyes and Diamond Halos
Two enormous hypnotic eyes built as spoked wheels, each iris divided by radial spokes around a glowing hub, ringed by halos of small diamond and teardrop cutouts with arched brow fans above. Every spoke gap, diamond, and teardrop is pierced individually, creating a mesmerizing lace of light. An expert carve with dozens of tiny openings; use a fine detail saw and rotate the pumpkin, not your wrist, on the curves.
Spooky Text Pumpkin Stencil
The word "Spooky" is carved in bold bubbly lettering with each letter outlined as a cut-through shape on this Halloween pumpkin stencil. The two O's feature skull-like eye holes inside them, and drip lines hang from the letters below. Curling ribbon flourishes arc above and below the text, all pierced through. Lit from inside, the letters glow with dark gaps forming the decorative interior details. Take care to preserve the thin drip connections between letters, as those links keep each letter floating in place on the pumpkin wall.
Spooky Tree Face Pumpkin Stencil
A gnarled, bare tree with an angry face carved into its trunk fills this expert pumpkin stencil. Dozens of branching limbs spread across the upper half, tapering into fine tips, while the lower trunk reveals a grimacing face with heavy brow, sunken eye sockets, and a roaring open mouth. The many thin branch tips and the narrow spaces between limbs make this one of the most demanding cuts in any tree pumpkin stencil design. Start from the outermost branch tips and work inward toward the trunk so the fine ends are cut while the wall is still fully supported.
Spooky Tree in Moon Pumpkin Stencil
A bare-branched tree fills a full circular moon in this expert-level pumpkin stencil, its trunk and sweeping limbs carved away while dozens of tight spiral curls on every branch tip remain as solid orange bridges. The lit jack-o-lantern shows the curled branch ends glowing like tiny flames against the open black sky of the moon circle. Tackle the small spiral cuts at the outermost branch tips before removing any large background sections, so the sheet stays supported while you work the most delicate shapes.
Sports Balls Pumpkin Stencil
Four sports balls are stacked and overlapping in a loose cluster: a soccer ball at the top with its pentagon-patch pattern, a football on the left with stitching lines, a basketball on the right with its curved seam lines, and a baseball at the front center with a double-stitch seam. Each ball's distinctive surface markings are left as uncut pumpkin ridges, so when lit the glowing interior shines through the open areas between stitches and panel gaps. Carve the baseball's curved stitch lines last since they are the finest linework and benefit from the stability of the surrounding cuts already in place.
Spotted Eagle Ray
A spotted eagle ray glides diagonally across the pumpkin, its wide wings dotted with rows of round spots, a long whip tail trailing off behind, and a curled loop near the tail base. The whole creature is rendered by etching the skin: outlines and spots are shaved to glow softly while the wall stays sealed. Rated hard for the fine linework; carve the spots with a small round gouge and keep your outline strokes shallow and consistent.
