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.
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.
LOVE Pumpkin Stencil
Four tall serif capitals spell out "LOVE" in a single row, each letter sized to span the full height of the pumpkin face, with the word cut completely through so it glows solid when lit. The letterforms use clean, wide strokes with minimal internal bridges, making this one of the most legible word-carving pumpkin stencils in the set. Because the "O" and the interior counter of the "V" require small floating pumpkin islands, remove those internal pieces before fully clearing the surrounding letter to avoid them dropping out unexpectedly.
Love Wins Pumpkin Stencil
A large bold heart dominates the design, split horizontally at its midpoint by a band of stencil text that reads "LOVE WINS" in thick block letters. The upper and lower halves of the heart are both pierced through, and the text band bridges the gap so the heart reads as one unified glowing shape when lit. Because the heart's two halves are each large open voids, carve them before the text strip; clearing the big areas first lets you see exactly how much wall support remains around the letter bridges.
One-Eyed Monster Pumpkin Stencil
This one-eyed monster character has a round head ringed with wild hair, a single large circular eye socket, a wide grinning mouth, and a short stubby body with splayed hands and feet. The stencil mixes solid areas (the pupil island inside the eye, the hair fringe, the torso patches) with pierced cutouts for the eye socket, mouth, and body gaps. Lit from inside, the monster's oversized eye glows brightly while the hair and body details form a dark, shaggy border. Keep the small circular island inside the eye intact, losing it turns the design from a recognizable eye into a plain hole.
Pride Heart Pumpkin Stencil
A bold heart outline with the word "PRIDE" in wide block letters across its center makes up this easy pumpkin stencil. The heart shape is split horizontally by the text band: the upper heart arch stays solid at the top, the letter counters (the enclosed spaces inside letters like R, D, and I) stay as solid islands, and the large lower heart triangle along with the negative spaces around each letter are pierced through. When lit, the glowing letters read sharply against the dark heart background. Cut the letter interiors first, preserving each letter's counter islands, before removing the large heart body below.
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.
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.
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.
Skeleton Hands Heart Pumpkin Stencil
Two skeletal hands with knuckle-ridge cuts reach upward and inward to frame a heart shape in the negative space between them in this hard-level pumpkin stencil, each finger outlined by rows of small rectangular cut-outs that read as bone segments when lit. The spaces around and between the fingers are cut away so the glowing pumpkin shows the hands as a warm orange lattice of bone detail around the central heart void. Cut the small rectangular knuckle cuts across all fingers before removing the larger surrounding background so every finger stays rigid while you work the fine detail.
Skull Face Pumpkin Stencil
A skull face pumpkin stencil built from two large circular eye sockets, a heart-shaped nasal cavity, two angled cheekbone tabs, and two rows of individual oval teeth lining an open jaw. All the white areas cut through, so the finished jack-o-lantern reads unmistakably as a skeleton against the dark. The two rows of closely packed oval teeth are the trickiest part: cut each tooth individually rather than scooping the whole jaw at once, and leave the tiny bridges between them for last so none tip inward.
Sugar Skull Pumpkin Stencil
A sugar skull face radiates symmetry in this Dia de los Muertos pumpkin stencil, with two large oval eye openings, a heart-shaped nose, and a row of rectangular teeth cut through, flanked on each side by detailed rose clusters with petal loops. The forehead band is a broad solid bridge separating the floral crown region from the face below. Cut the intricate rose petal loops before the large eye ovals, since the petals are fragile and need the surrounding wall still intact for support.
Sugar Skull 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.
Sugar Skull Sombrero Pumpkin Stencil
A Dia de los Muertos sugar skull wears an enormous sombrero whose brim is covered in repeating triangular geometric cutouts, while the skull face below shows heart-shaped flower eyes with petals, small crescent cheek scrolls, and a toothy grin in this expert sugar-skull pumpkin stencil. The tight zigzag pattern on the sombrero brim requires precise, repetitive cuts that must stay connected by narrow bridges to hold the hat together. Carve the hat band and dome details at the top first, then work row by row down the brim triangles before tackling the face, so the skull does not shift while the delicate geometric grid is still being cut.
Sugar Skull with Roses Pumpkin Stencil
A sugar skull face with flower-ringed eye sockets, a crown of jagged flames, a heart-shaped nose, and rectangular teeth is surrounded by six individually carved roses in this expert pumpkin stencil. Every petal cluster, leaf, and decorative element is a separate pierce-through, creating an intricate Day of the Dead tableau. The carved pumpkin glows through dozens of individual openings simultaneously. Work from the center outward: finish all skull face details before the outer roses, so you can brace the pumpkin face-side-down when carving the perimeter flower clusters.
Surprised Ghost Pumpkin Stencil
A ghost face with two large oval eyes, a small heart-shaped nose, and a wide rounded mouth with a tiny tooth bump stares out from this simple pumpkin stencil. All four features are individual pierce-throughs floating in the pumpkin surface. When lit, the glowing eyes and mouth give the jack-o-lantern a look of wide-eyed astonishment. Since the four cutouts are widely spaced with generous pumpkin wall between them, cut the small heart nose last: its concave top curve requires care and the surrounding rigid wall makes it easiest to score clean inward curves.
Teddy Bear Pumpkin Stencil
A seated teddy bear with tattered, drip-edged fur fills this hard-level pumpkin stencil: a round head with small round ears, two circular cheek spots, a nose-and-muzzle cutout, and a tummy split into two glowing panels flanked by small round paws. The ragged fur silhouette along the top of the head and across the body creates dozens of short, jagged points that must stay connected. Work from the center facial features outward, and avoid pressing too hard on the bear's narrow fur-tip points so they do not snap before the larger belly sections are removed.
Wild Monster Pumpkin Stencil
A wild-haired cartoon monster character grins with an enormous open mouth in this pumpkin stencil, its jagged mane and raised arms forming the outer silhouette, while the gaping mouth interior and a large swirling single eye are the primary cut-through elements. Small outstretched finger gaps and a body hollow add secondary glow points. Cut the wide gaping mouth cavity first since it is the largest opening and removing it early prevents the pumpkin wall from bowing when you make the tighter surrounding cuts.
Winged Heart Pumpkin Stencil
A large heart with feathered wings spread wide anchors this hard pumpkin stencil, with a scrolling banner ribbon below carrying decorative curl accents. The heart is kept solid as pumpkin flesh while the wing feather gaps and banner interior are cut through, creating a tattoo-style composition that glows with intricate layered detail. The individual feather separations along each wing are narrow and numerous; carve them starting at the outermost wingtip and working toward the heart so the wing stays attached to the body of the pumpkin longest.
