Cauldron Silhouette Pumpkin With Bubble Holes

From pumpkin to porch

1. 1

   Hollow and prep

   Cut a back lid, hollow to about an inch wall thickness, and transfer the template. Mark the cauldron silhouette and the three bubble holes separately. Perforate both outlines before removing the tape.

2. 2

   Start at the rim

   Enter the jab saw at the wide straight rim at the top of the cauldron and work the outline downward through the rounded pot body toward the two chunky feet. Keeping a slow, steady stroke around the rounded belly of the pot produces the cleanest curve.

3. 3

   Complete the feet and free the piece

   At the base of the pot, the two feet extend outward as short wide pegs. Cut around each foot carefully, leaving them as part of the same continuous opening. Push the cauldron piece free once the outline is complete.

4. 4

   Cut the bubble holes

   Drill or saw the three round holes above the cauldron opening. Space them unevenly, as rising bubbles would be, for a natural look. Each hole should be at least half an inch from the cauldron rim above it.

5. 5

   Light and display

   Place an LED inside and set the pumpkin on a dark wooden doorstep at a low height. The cauldron aperture glows large and inviting while the three floating bubbles above it complete the brewing scene.
