Bony Mask Pumpkin Scary Face with Rectangular Tooth Gaps

Sketch the full layout

Map all elements on the pumpkin face before cutting: two angular eye holes without pupils, twin nostril holes, the row of twelve narrow rectangular tooth-gap holes spanning the mouth width with strong horizontal bars above and below, and ten triangular holes distributed across the temple and cheek areas. Confirm every tooth-gap bar is clearly connected top and bottom.

Hollow the pumpkin

Scoop from a back lid to about three-quarters of an inch of wall thickness on the face panel. The many small rectangular tooth gaps require a reasonably thin wall for clean vertical edges. Keep the outer margins thicker for structural support.

Cut the angular eye holes

Cut both angular eyes as clean geometric openings without any retained pupil islands. The angular, non-round shape is what gives the design its bone-mask quality rather than a standard face look. Cut the eyes first to anchor all subsequent placement decisions.

Add the nostril holes and tooth row

Cut the two small nostril holes, then tackle the twelve rectangular tooth gaps. Work across the mouth from one side to the other, cutting each narrow gap individually and confirming the horizontal jaw bars above and below remain intact after each cut. A cool blue LED placed just behind the tooth row will later create a striking skeletal grin.

Cut the temple and cheek triangle holes

Distribute ten triangular holes across the temple and cheek areas, cutting them from outermost to innermost. Triangles are three straight cuts each and go quickly. Space them so the overall face texture reads as organic bone-plate texture rather than a random pattern.

Light with a cool blue LED

A cool blue or white LED accentuates the skeletal, inhuman quality of the mask far more effectively than warm amber light. Display the pumpkin elevated at face height so the rectangular tooth row glows directly at eye level.
