Pumpkins wear costumes just as well as we do — and giving them eye masks makes them instantly playful, mysterious, or downright glamorous.
Think of it like dressing your pumpkins for a masquerade ball where cobwebs are the confetti. These eye mask pumpkin ideas will help you turn plain gourds into showstoppers that catch every guest’s eye (literally).
Let’s unmask the fun.
1. Glitter Masquerade Pumpkins
Cover your pumpkin’s eye mask in fine glitter to mimic fancy masquerade masks. Use hot glue to outline the shape and fill it in with glue before sprinkling glitter.
They shine under porch lights and give your pumpkin the vibe of a mysterious ballroom guest.
2. Bat Wing Eye Masks
Cut bat wings out of black foam or felt and shape them like an eye mask. Attach to your pumpkin’s “face” and add tiny red rhinestones for eyes.
It’s half superhero, half spooky creature — perfect for dramatic displays.
3. Lace Eye Mask Pumpkins
Wrap delicate black lace around the pumpkin’s “face” area to create an elegant, Victorian-style mask.
This works beautifully with white or pastel pumpkins for a high-contrast gothic look.
4. Glow-in-the-Dark Masks
Paint the eye mask with glow-in-the-dark paint so your pumpkin glows eerily at night.
Great for lining walkways — they’ll appear to float when the sun goes down.
5. Pirate Mask Pumpkins
Cut out a black pirate-style eye patch, add a painted skull-and-crossbones on the pumpkin’s cheek, and you’ve got a swashbuckling jack-o’-lantern.
Bonus: Wrap a red bandana around the stem for instant character.
6. Superhero Mask Pumpkins
Paint bright-colored comic-book-style masks directly on your pumpkins. Think purple for Batgirl, red for The Flash, or black for Zorro.
These are perfect if you’re mixing spooky with fun and kid-friendly themes.
7. Venetian Masquerade Pumpkins
Glue feathers, sequins, and beads around the eye area of your pumpkin like an ornate Venetian mask.
Set them in candlelight and they’ll look ready for a haunted opera.
8. Cat Eye Mask Pumpkins
Paint a sleek cat-shaped mask with long pointed corners and add pipe cleaner whiskers.
This one gives off sly, mysterious energy — like your pumpkin has secrets.
9. Harlequin Patterned Masks
Paint a diamond harlequin pattern (black and white or black and red) across the eye area of the pumpkin.
It gives a mischievous jester vibe, perfect for a slightly creepy carnival look.
10. Spiked Mask Pumpkins
Hot glue plastic spikes or studs around the eye mask’s border.
They look edgy and bold, like your pumpkin just came from a rock concert in the underworld.
11. Skeleton Eye Mask Pumpkins
Use black paint to create hollow eye sockets surrounded by bony mask details, blending into carved cheekbones.
It adds depth and makes your pumpkin look like it’s wearing a skull disguise.
12. Sequin Mask Pumpkins
Cover the mask area in shiny sequins for a disco-inspired pumpkin that catches every flicker of light.
These are dazzling on party tables or near strobe lights.
13. Eyelash Mask Pumpkins
Glue on dramatic fake eyelashes around the eye mask cutouts or paint long lashes for a glamorous, diva-style pumpkin.
It’s sassy and eye-catching — literally.
14. Half Mask Pumpkins
Paint or attach a half mask, like the Phantom of the Opera, over one side of your pumpkin’s “face.”
Leave the other side carved or natural. It’s dramatic and theatrical, and people will stop to stare.
15. Spiderweb Eye Masks
Paint thin silver spiderweb lines over a black eye mask design. Add a small fake spider crawling out of one eye corner.
It’s subtle, spooky, and stylish all at once.
16. Steampunk Mask Pumpkins
Glue on mini gears, watch pieces, and bronze paint to craft a steampunk-inspired eye mask.
These look amazing with metallic spray-painted pumpkins (gold, bronze, copper).
17. Vampire Masquerade Pumpkins
Paint a sleek black mask with a tiny drop of red “blood” near the mouth area.
Elegant yet slightly sinister — like your pumpkin just came from a midnight feast.
18. Leaf Mask Pumpkins
Use dried autumn leaves to create an organic mask shape around the eyes. Seal with Mod Podge.
It’s earthy and seasonal — a perfect outdoor display piece that blends spooky with fall charm.
19. Galaxy Eye Masks
Paint the eye area with galaxy swirls — purple, blue, black, and white stars.
It turns your pumpkin into a cosmic masquerader from another world.
20. Floral Eye Mask Pumpkins
Hot glue tiny faux flowers around the eye mask area for a romantic twist on Halloween décor.
These are especially good for softer, less-spooky setups (porches, weddings, harvest parties).
21. Metallic Foil Masks
Apply gold or silver foil sheets over your painted eye mask for a luxe effect.
They shimmer in the light and make your pumpkin look like royalty at a haunted masquerade ball.
22. Jack Skellington Mask Pumpkins
Paint a black eye mask over white-painted pumpkins and add Jack’s stitched grin.
It’s instantly recognizable and works well with Nightmare Before Christmas themes.
23. Bejeweled Eye Masks
Glue rhinestones, gems, or pearls along the outline of your pumpkin’s eye mask.
They sparkle like crazy and make the pumpkin feel dressed for a haunted gala.
24. Carved Mask Pumpkins
Instead of painting, carve eye mask holes into the pumpkin and place a light inside so the mask glows from within.
It’s dramatic at night and makes the mask shape pop beautifully.
25. Two-Faced Mask Pumpkins
Paint one half of the pumpkin’s face with a dark, spooky mask and the other half with a bright, happy mask.
It plays with duality — a trick-or-treat split personality that’s both unsettling and creative.
