Easy Chica FNAF Pumpkin Carving with Open Beak

From pumpkin to porch

1. 1

   Hollow and prep

   Cut the back lid and scoop to one inch of wall thickness. Choose a broad round pumpkin for Chica's wide, rounded head shape. Dry the interior completely. A yellow-tinted or warm LED will suit this design, so have one ready before you finish.

2. 2

   Transfer the template

   Tape the template and trace the two circular eye positions, the beak opening outline with its broad upper edge, the tuft at the top of the head, and the bib shape below the beak. Mark the intact upper beak edge boundary clearly since protecting it is the main structural priority.

3. 3

   Cut the circular eye holes

   Use a fine carving saw or, if available, a round hole saw attachment on a low-speed drill for clean circles. Cut both eyes before any other through-cuts. Push each circular piece inward to remove it. Confirm the spacing looks symmetrical and balanced before moving to the beak.

4. 4

   Cut the beak opening

   Cut the lower beak gap below the intact upper beak boundary. Keep the upper beak edge wide and solid throughout this step. The bottom of the opening can extend toward the base of the face without structural concern since the upper beak provides the support.

5. 5

   Shallow-back the head, tuft, and bib

   Use a linoleum gouge to back-carve the tuft at the crown of the head, the cheek contour areas, and the bib below the beak to about half wall depth. Work in smooth strokes and check depth with a flashlight frequently. The bib in particular benefits from a uniform depth to read as a distinct shape.

6. 6

   Light and display

   Insert a yellow-tinted or warm white LED and close the back lid. The circular eyes glow with a clean geometric quality that reads as Chica's cartoonish proportions. Set the pumpkin at eye height on a display surface with a dark background behind it.
