Free Pumpkin Carving Patterns

It’s no secret that I love carving pumpkins.

I carve several every year and have been doing so for the last 35 years (oh my, suddenly, I feel REALLY old!).

Before discovering awesome pumpkin stencil designs, I would do the standard spooky faces freehand.

Pumpkin carving has come a long way since then!

I have hundreds of designs I’ve collected over the years – some have been freebies I’ve found online, some I’ve designed myself, and some I’ve paid for.

You’ll find the free ones below, and any marked with an asterisk (*) I paid for, so I can’t provide them here for you, but I have linked to where you can purchase them if you wish.

Pumpkin Templates

Many of these pumpkin templates are ones that I have carved out myself, so you can see what the finished pumpkin should look like.

If you’ve never carved a pumpkin before, you may want to check out Pumpkin Carving 101 on how to do it!

If you think you couldn’t carve any of these designs, I will be the first to say that it is a lot easier than you think.

I jumped in headfirst in 2004, and my first pumpkins turned out so much better than I ever imagined they would!

We all have to start somewhere, so grab yourself a pumpkin carving kit, download and print off a few of these pumpkin carving patterns, and get to carving!

I’m first going to share the patterns I’ve carved out over the years – you’ll have to forgive some of my older, blurry photographs from many moons ago!

Then at the end of this post is a handy folder link on Google Drive with all of the free patterns below, plus about 100 more!

           

Links will open in a new window/tab. Right-click the pattern and save it to your device.

And that’s where my carved pumpkin photos end!

I know we didn’t do Halloween at home in 2015 because we were in Walt Disney World, and in 2016, we only had a little party, where I know I just re-carved old templates, so I didn’t bother with photos.

And I don’t seem to have any pictures from 2017 or 2018… which is weird, but who knows what was going through my mind then!
