Spider Pumpkin Stencil Designs

About these spider stencils

Spiders are all legs, and legs are thin, so bridges matter here more than anywhere. Every leg on our stencils connects back to the body.

Webs are the challenge: lots of thin skin strands. Use a fine saw and print the web at Large size.

How to carve a spider pumpkin

1. Pick a design and download the PDF in the size that matches the flattest face of your pumpkin.
2. Cut a lid or a hole in the back, scoop out the pulp and thin the front wall to about 1 inch so the light shines through.
3. Tape the stencil flat, poke along every line about 3 mm apart, then peel the paper off.
4. Cut out the black shapes with a small saw, smallest pieces first, and keep every white bridge.
5. Light it with an LED and clean up any edges that block the glow.

Carving tips
