Here are a few hacks that you can explore as templates for some easy jack o lantern carving.

So roll up your sleeves, squish some pumpkin guts, and get ready to brag because these templates are spook-tacular. While Jack o lanterns make for a great display, carving them becomes quite tedious. From classic to modern and easy to difficult, we’ve got something for everyone and every skill level. In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, add the Butter, Sugar, Eggs, and Vanilla, and blend on Medium speed until light and fluffy. We’ve rounded up over 100 pumpkin-carving templates and patterns for Halloween to make sure your spooky squashes get oohed and aahed by trick-or-treaters of all ages. Directions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mark the interior piece by drawing a line around the edges. Adjust as needed and then remove the box. Then flip your box upside down and place over that interior piece. However you do Halloween, if pumpkin-carving is on the agenda, chances are you could use some help (we know we could). Flip over your top piece and put the interior piece in the center. Or maybe you’re a fan of watching a couple kid-friendly Halloween movies, reading Halloween stories with the kids, and sending them off for trick-or-treating with their friends while you turn off all the lights and pretend no one is home. Maybe you go full-blown haunted house, make a holiday treat, and have listed pumpkin-carving as a special skill on your resume. Step 2: Cut wax paper to 4.5 by 6 Use a paper cutter or scissors to cut out 4, 4.

Maybe your Halloween tradition is to carve a sole pumpkin, set out a bowl of candy, and watch from the window as all the tiny witches and ghosts clamor on your porch steps. Use a Glowforge, Cricut, or Silhouette to cut out the jack o lantern pattern from orange paper or any paper you like.
