Giant Triangle Nose Pumpkin Carving Idea

From pumpkin to porch

1. 1

   Select and prep the pumpkin

   Choose a pumpkin with a wide, flat front face so the large triangle has room to read clearly. Cut a lid, hollow to an inch-thick wall, and wipe the face dry. A flat front prevents the triangle sides from looking curved or distorted.

2. 2

   Draw the giant triangle nose

   Using a ruler, mark the three vertices of the triangle in the center of the face. Connect them with straight pencil lines, keeping the base of the triangle horizontal. The nose should be large enough to dominate the face without crowding the mouth below.

3. 3

   Cut the triangle nose

   Pierce one corner of the triangle with the saw tip and cut to the next corner using a straight firm stroke. A straightedge guide taped along each line helps keep the saw from drifting on long cuts. Remove the triangular waste piece inward through the hollow.

4. 4

   Add the small round eyes

   Mark two small circles above the nose, equidistant from center. Use a borer or a small round cookie cutter pressed into the rind as a guide for perfectly round holes. Push the waste pieces inward cleanly.

5. 5

   Cut the crescent mouth and single tooth

   Sketch a broad crescent smile below the nose, then mark one short rectangular tooth rooted to the center of the upper edge of the crescent. Cut the crescent arc first, then free the single tooth by sawing on either side of it. The tooth should have a wide root to stay secure.

6. 6

   Light and display

   Place a warm LED inside. The large triangle nose will flood with light and draw the eye immediately. Display at floor level or table height so viewers look slightly down into the face, which makes the oversized nose even more prominent.
