Bonnie FNAF Intermediate Pumpkin with Long Ear Panels

From pumpkin to porch

1. 1

   Prepare the pumpkin

   Choose a tall pumpkin so the ear panels have enough vertical room to read clearly above the face. Cut the back lid and scoop to one inch of wall thickness. Dry the interior completely. Mark the vertical center of the face before placing the template so the ears align symmetrically.

2. 2

   Transfer the full template

   The template should show the face features in the lower two-thirds and the two ear panels above them, each panel divided from the rind center by a broad strip of intact rind. Transfer all lines including eye outlines, nose aperture, mouth boundary with tooth root lines, ear panel shapes, the rind divider between them, face contour, and bowtie.

3. 3

   Score the tooth roots

   Before cutting the mouth, score each upper tooth root line with a detail knife. This gives you a clean stop-boundary when cutting the mouth gap and protects the root attachments. Press just deep enough to mark the rind surface.

4. 4

   Cut the main face apertures

   Cut the two eye holes first, then the nose aperture. For the mouth, cut the outer boundary and work carefully around the two rooted tooth shapes. Remove the mouth piece in small sections. Confirm both tooth roots are solid before proceeding.

5. 5

   Cut the ear panels and shallow-back the details

   Now cut the ear panel openings, keeping the broad rind strip between them intact throughout. The strip is the structural backbone of the upper face. After the panels are open, use a gouge to back-carve the face contour and bowtie. Check all depth levels with a flashlight.

6. 6

   Light and display

   Place a cool white LED inside for sharp contrast on the rooted teeth. Display the pumpkin at or above eye level so the full ear panel height is visible. Lit from inside, the glowing ear panels give Bonnie an imposing presence that works well as a porch centerpiece.
