Presidential Pumpkin Carving Stencils and Patterns

Sarah Palin, George Bush, John McCain, Barack Obama, How to Get the Stencils Free!

Kelly Spies
Pumpkin stencils are pretty easy to come by. The only problem with that is everyone else on the block has the same pumpkin carving. For a unique pumpkin that shows off your patriotism, or sense of humor, check out these free, printable, downloadable presidential pumpkin carving stencils found on the web.

Campaign-O-Lanterns - I was amazed to find that the Associated Press offers free presidential pumpkin carving stencils. There's a whole bunch to choose from too. They have election symbols, Sara Palin's face and even Michelle Obama's face. Funnier yet is Joe Biden all it up. Visit the Associated Press website for free downloads.

Tag Yer It - Aside from its interesting name the Tag Yer It website has a strong point of view about politics and offers some pretty cool presidential pumpkin carving stencils. The Bush Bashing contest held during the 2004 elections pretty much sets the tone for the site. So if you're anti George dubbuya Bush then these pumpkin patterns will be right up your alley.

Finding the pumpkin carving patters on the Tag Yet It website requires that you scroll down and read the links along the way.

Pumpkin Glow - For a more traditional and historical face on your pumpkin consider the patters at the Pumpkin Glow website. They have fantastic patterns like George Washington, The Liberty Bell, The Statue of Liberty and Mount Rushmore. These pumpkin carving patterns are perfect for Fall Festivals.

Zombie Pumpkins - The people at Zombie Pumpkins have come up with an original way to do a poll on the Presidential election of 2008. They are offering a pumpkin carving stencil of Barack Obama and John McCain. When you click to download a stencil you are voting. So far Obama is winning on the Zombie Pumpkins website.

Barack and McCain aren't the only carving patterns available at Zombie Pumpkins. They also have stencils of Lady Liberty, Uncle Sam, Fireworks and the American Bald Eagle.

Better Homes and Gardens - This is crazy but really cool. Better Homes and Gardens magazine website is offering presidential pumpkin carving templates for free download to every reader that votes in their poll. There are so many sites on the internet running their own polls this way it blows my mind. Go get your presidential candidate pumpkin carving pattern at Better Homes and Gardens.

SpookMaster Online - The Spook Master is truly the Master of pumpkin carving stencils. They have a ton to choose from. With the wide variety of templates available on their website it's only natural that they'd have a few presidential ones as well. At SpookMaster's you'll find campaign logos and presidential candidates' faces.

Strange Politics - There's only one presidential pumpkin carving pattern at Strange Politics. It's a scary Hillary Clinton face. The creator of the stencil turned Hillary into vampire and he or she did a pretty good job. You can download the Hillary stencil on the Strange Politics website.

I have discovered so many places that offer free printable presidential pumpkin carving stencils that if I wrote it out, the list would be pages long. Hopefully, though you'll find this list is sufficient enough to help you show your political support this Halloween. Happy carving!

  • Notes from Joblessville10/20/2008

    I live in an apartment building where pumpkins are frowned upon. I hate that.

  • Debbie Henthorn10/18/2008

    I am SO not talented enough to even think about trying anything like this!

  • 3lilangels10/18/2008

    great resources!

    Kelly- Excellent resources! I'm such a wuss that I'd be afraid to put up political pumpkin. We have enough trouble with people smashing pumpkins.....but maybe if we had it rigged with an alarm system or even a voice-activated thing....that might actually be fun :)

    Funny trend. For Palin, it would be easier to just stick some antlers on the pumpkin and let people use their imagination.
