Looking for pumpkin carving stencils or patterns?


With only a few days left until the big night of Halloween this Saturday, many are anxious to get their decorations up. These include, perhaps most importantly, the jack-o'-lantern. Pumpkin carving is fun and at its best produces works of art. The standard grinning pumpkin face pattern, perhaps with a couple crooked teeth and evil eyes, is always a good fallback. But what about those of us who want to outdo last year's efforts? (Not to mention our neighbors'.) If you're looking for pumpkin carving stencils, patterns, or templates, check out this list:

  • If you want to go high-end and classy, who else to turn to but Martha?
  • Taste of Home has some great stencils
  • ExtremePumpkins has some incredible, complex patterns for the advanced carver
  • Surprisingly, History.com has a nice collection of both simple, beginner patterns and more advanced designs
  • The above photo is from YankeeHalloween.com, another great resource
  • Finally, Free Birthday Treats has a great collection of links to the above and much, much more

Be a bit adventurous and carve something amazing for Halloween this year!
