How to carve a name in a pumpkin

1. STEP 1

   Type the name

   Up to 18 characters. Short names (3–6 letters) carve best on one pumpkin.

2. STEP 2

   Pick a lettering style

   Bold block letters are easiest to carve; Spooky looks great lit.

3. STEP 3

   Check the bridges

   Floating letter centers are bridged automatically.

4. STEP 4

   Download and carve

   Print at your pumpkin size, then cut the letter centers first and the outlines last.

Which lettering style should I pick?

• Bold block has the thickest strokes and the fewest corners, so it is the easiest to carve and the brightest once lit. Best for kids and small pumpkins.
• Spooky has dripping, uneven edges that look great glowing on a porch, but the drips are thin, so print Medium or Large.
• Classic stencil already has gaps built into the letters, so the bridges blend in and look intentional.
• Fun cartoon is chunky and friendly, a good middle ground for names on a classroom display.
