(Inside: I’m a huge fan of carved pumpkins–but I’m a terrible carved-pumpkin designer. Really, it’s sad. So, I came up with these 25 Free Printable Pumpkin Carving Stencils So Easy Anyone Can Do Them–that way I have a template.)
So, I have a confession to make. I’m not the world’s best pumpkin carver.
You put that knife in my hand and that giant orange ball of fun in front of me and I panic. Literally, I cannot design a carved pumpkin face for my life and I ALWAYS end up making a mess.

How to Use Your Free Printable Stencils for Carving Pumpkins
- Cut off the top of your pumpkin and clean out the guts.
- Print the jack-o-lantern stencils. You can get your PDF below, so don’t panic, keep reading.
- Don’t bother cutting anything out.
- Line your pumpkin carving template on your pumpkin where you plan to put the face.
- Tape all 4 corners of your stencil for pumpkin carving.
- Using a thin, sharp knife, cut through the paper and into the skin of the pumpkin in a dotted-line along the eyes and mouth (and nose, if applicable) of the jack-o-lantern.
- Going back along the lines you created in a dotted fashion, still using your thin, sharp knife, fully cut a line around the eyes and mouth (and nose, if applicable) of your jack-o-lantern. Don’t worry about cutting all the way through the meat of the pumpkin on this pass.
- Make one more pass, this time with a more sturdy knife, along your jack-o-lantern’s eyes, mouth and possible nose.
- Remove paper.
- Clean up your mess.
- Enjoy.
