Pumpkin carving letters A–Z
Every letter and number as a printable stencil, with bridges that keep the middle of A, B, D, O, P, Q and R attached.
Looking for a pumpkin carving letter B, R, P, O or D? Each one has a closed middle, so it gets one or two bridges: thin strips of pumpkin you leave uncut. Pick a style and a height, print one letter or all of them. Make a whole word to have names spaced and sized to your pumpkin.
Block, cut out, 4 in tall. Print at 100% (Actual size).

Questions about pumpkin letters
Which letters need bridges?
Every letter or number with a closed middle: A, B, D, O, P, Q, R, 0, 4, 6, 8, 9 and &, plus lowercase a, b, d, e, g, o, p and q. Without a bridge the middle falls out when you cut around it. Each card below shows its bridges as white gaps.
What size should pumpkin letters be?
Letters under about 1.4 inches tall get fiddly with a kit saw. 3 to 5 inches tall suits most pumpkins: 3 in for a small pumpkin or a long word, 5 in for one big letter on a large pumpkin.
How far apart should I space the letters?
Leave at least a bridge width of pumpkin between letters (about 1/4 inch on a medium pumpkin), so no hairline of skin is left to snap. The stencil maker on the home page spaces whole words for you.
Want a name instead? The pumpkin stencil maker sizes whole words to your pumpkin and rates how hard they are to carve. See also how the stencils are tested.
