If you're tired of making basic smiley jack-o'-lanterns, I've got the list for you. I searched through pumpkin carving Pinterest boards and DIY websites so you don't have to.

Here are 11 pumpkin carving ideas based on current trends as well as classic Halloween icons. If you're not a big fan of carving out your pumpkins, don't worry because several of these ideas only require paint.

1. Emoji

I'll be making a nerd emoji pumpkin this Halloween.

2. Black Cat O'Lanterns

Admit it, you've probably been a cat for Halloween at least once. Let your pumpkins wear that costume this Halloween instead.

3. Donald Trumpkin

Make Halloween great again.

4. Donuts

These pumpkins look delicious.

5. Fruit Carving

Why limit yourself to only carving pumpkins?

6. Celestial Pumpkins

Drill little holes into your pumpkins to create a cute pattern and lantern effect.

7. Sassy Quotes

These pumpkins have their own personalities. This design should be easy to make with a few stencils and paint.

8. Artistic Masterpieces

Recreate beautiful artwork on your pumpkins.

9. Harry Potter

You'll surely please a crowd with a Harry Potter reference or two.

10. Bats

I might try this one out.

11. Extreme Sculpting

If the other ideas are too tame for you, try making some complex pumpkin sculptures. Even though this photo is from a "Rise of the Jack O'Lanterns" exhibit, you can make some intense art with pumpkins on your own. With the right tools, ideas, and materials, anything is possible.
