Mismatched Eye Goofy Pumpkin With Square Teeth

From pumpkin to porch

1. 1

   Hollow the pumpkin

   Cut the lid from the back and scoop to about 2.5 cm wall thickness. Dry the face surface before marking.

2. 2

   Mark the mismatched eyes

   Draw a round eye hole on one side and a triangular eye hole on the other. Make them roughly similar in overall area but clearly different in shape. Placing them at slightly different heights adds to the goofy off-balance quality.

3. 3

   Mark the lopsided mouth and teeth

   Draw a smile that curves upward more on the triangular-eye side. Sketch two broad square teeth along the top lip, rooted along their full top edge. Make the gaps between and around the teeth roughly equal in width.

4. 4

   Cut the round eye first

   Cut the round eye using short overlapping saw strokes around the circumference. Then cut the triangular eye. Starting with the rounder, larger shape keeps the face stable.

5. 5

   Cut the mouth and teeth

   Cut the outer smile line first, then remove the gaps between and around the two square teeth one at a time. Leave both teeth fully rooted at their top edges. Pop all pieces free gently.

6. 6

   Light and display

   Insert an LED tea light and place the pumpkin where its goofy off-kilter expression is visible straight-on. A crooked or deliberately tilted placement on a hay bale or step leans into the design's personality.
