Free is always good. These pumpkin face stencils can be used for your pumpkin carving project or cut them out of fabric to decorate a t-shirt and I’m sure you can think of a dozen other uses for these free stencils.
Just off the top of my head, I’m thinking about using these stencils to paint some goofy and scary faces on pumpkins. You could paint bottles and fill them with candy. You could decorate all kinds of things with these stencils, maybe even make a costume or use them for face painting.

Have fun and create all kinds of great things . . . they may make some spooky cookies or cupcakes, too.

I find pictures to be inspirational. It’s amazing how people go all out in their pumpkin carving. I suppose you can never have enough carved pumpkins lighting the path for the trick-or-treaters or just to decorate your porch.
I think going to the pumpkin patch is an exciting venture and it is difficult to select only one, so why not go all out. My thought is once you get started on one pumpkin, why not do another. Yet, it is good to pace yourself, depending upon how elaborate your design is.
Here are a few templates I thought would be fun:
Headless Horsie
Witch on a Broom
Tombstone
Haunted House
I hope these designs inspired you, I’ll have more free templates as we get closer to Halloween. I love seeing what others have done with their pumpkins. Some people are very clever.
Thanks for stopping by!

With a little imagination, you can turn your Halloween pumpkin into something magnificent. This Pumpkin Skull is very clever. I found it on Pinterest. No instructions are necessary. What you see is what you do.
- Clean out your pumpkin
- Split it open by slicing out a piece to accommodate a skull
- Carefully place a skull inside
- You can put a battery operated votive or tea light inside the skull
- Carve a face on the pumpkin, half on each side
You may have your own idea of how to do this Halloween craft, but this seemed to work for me. Instead of a skull, you could set up an interesting diorama.
If you do use the skull, you can add some interesting extras like plastic spiders or others bugs. Allow your imagination to go wild.
This is a fun family project. The kids will enjoy embellishing the skull and the pumpkin if they are too young to carve the pumpkin.
Here are some helpful links to get your imagination into high gear:
Have fun looking around your local dollar store. You’ll come up with some delightful embellishments.
