25+ Free Printable Pumpkin Stencils

Every year I look forward to pumpkin carving time. Usually I’m scrambling around for a pumpkin stencil at the last minute, but this year I’m prepared!

25+ Free Printable Pumpkin Patterns

I found a nice variety of free pumpkin templates, and I’ve gathered them in the handy list below:

• Unique Pumpkin Stencils – DotComWomen has a nice selection of unique designs, including a haunted house, cemetary scene, spiderweb, and a few scary options.
• Creepy Pumpkin Patterns – There are a couple truly creepy options on the Stoneykins website. That evil hooded skeleton gives me the heebie jeebies!
• Scary Jack-o-Face – One of many options available on the Celebrating Halloween website.
• Chevron Pumpkin Pattern (my own design!)
• Happy Face Pumpkin Template – My personal preference is a happy pumpkin; I don’t see many around, but I love their toothy grins. This is a classic happy face courtesy of About.com.
• Disney Pumpkin Carving Patterns – Direct from Disney, tons of your favorite character stencils!
• Detailed Celtic Pumpkin Stencils – Mandalas are in for adult coloring pages, so I think Celtic designs are in order for pumpkin carvings! Here are two lovely templates from Martha Stewart.
• Words to Carve Into Pumpkins – sometimes you just want your pumpkin to say “Boo!” or “Happy Halloween”

Pumpkin Carving Tools & Books

I like grabbing free stencils most of the time, but my husband strongly prefers to buy one of those books with tons of designs in them. I do admit that sometimes you can get a nicer looking outcome if you go this route only because they’re always professional done.

In case you’re on my husband’s side on this, here are some tools and resources I rounded up:

• GoStock Pumpkin Carving Kit with Zipper Bag
• Ultimate Carving Kit with Stencils
• Power Saw – Pumpkin Carving Tool
• Dremel Cordless Rotary Tool
• Extreme Pumpkins: Diabolical Do-It-Yourself Designs
• Pumpkin Masters Jack-O-Lantern Decorating Teeth
• The Perfect Pumpkin Ultimate Stencil Book
• Pumpkin Punchers – Pumpkin Carving Kit For Kids
• Stainless Steel Pumpkin Carving Kit
