What comes to mind when we think of Halloween? Well, for starters, cobwebs, candy, spooky bats — and pumpkins! It's the only time of year we gather with our families to enjoy finding the perfect gourd and turning it into a scary or funny Jack-o-Lantern, and everyone brings their own flair to the project. There are countless ways to create your pumpkin faces this year, and we have all the inspiration you need to be classic, unique and everything in between (you can also see our favorite, bigger list of pumpkin carving ideas too).
Not so skilled with an X-Acto knife? You and your kids can have a fun (not to mention, safe!) time decorating the pumpkin faces of your dreams. And if you are willing to make your pumpkin go under the knife, we have some amazing creations to try out too. There isn't a *wrong* way to make a silly, spooky, or downright adorable pumpkin face. Get as creative as possible and light up your porch with these handmade pumpkin carvings or gift designs. See below for the products and blogger designs we love the most, and check out more of our pumpkin carving tips.
Face Mask Pumpkin
To make this spa-going pumpkin face, simply paint a "face mask" onto a real or faux pumpkin, leaving spaces for the nose and mouth. Let it dry completely. Then, stretch a decorative shower cap onto the pumpkin's "head" and pin it in place with straight pins. To make the cucumber eyes, just print images of cucumbers from a picture online and glue them on.

Sweet Scarecrow Pumpkin
With some light carving, a creative hairpiece fashioned from corn husks, some glue and a bag or two of candy corn, this friendly Jack-o-Lantern might be the friendliest one on the block.
Open Mouth Pumpkin Faces
These "screaming" pumpkins can also double as props for an impromptu game of cornhole. To make them, cut large holes in the bottom of two pumpkins and scoop out the pulp and seeds. Download and trace this face template onto the pumpkins, then cut out the faces. Stack the pumpkins and use skewers to hold the top pumpkin in place.
