Exclusive Pumpkin Carving Patterns

Back to Halloween Ideas

Tired of the same triangle eyes and snaggle-toothed jack-o'-lantern grin? Try these exclusive HGTV.com designs for your pumpkins this year. Click each image to view and print the PDF pattern. Then enlarge or shrink it on a photocopier as necessary to fit your pumpkins or gourds.

For intricate designs like some of these, slice off the pumpkin's skin and some of the pumpkin's flesh in thin layers, rather than cutting all the way through the way jack-o'-lanterns have traditionally been carved. The dark parts of these patterns are to be left in place (the pumpkin's skin), while the white parts can either be shaved off in layers (leaving the flesh) or completely cut away (leaving complete holes), depending on the designs.
