Smiling Poop Emoji Pumpkin

The poop emoji is carved onto this funny jack-o-lantern as a swirled mound shape with two spiral eyes and a flat smiling base, all rendered as a single connected glowing cutout outline. The thick border line and spiral eyes are pierced through so the design glows as a continuous ring of light tracing the emoji's silhouette. Keep at least a quarter inch of pumpkin skin on each side of the swirl outline, since the long curved border is the only structure holding the spiral eyes in place.

A little extra help

Our tips for carving a similar design

The whole design works as one continuous glowing outline rather than large open holes, so the light traces the swirled mound, the two spiral eyes, and the flat smile like a ribbon of orange. The trick is that the long curved border line is the only thing holding the spiral eye shapes in place, so you keep plenty of skin on both sides of every cut. Carve the outline as a connected loop and the shape reads instantly, even from across the yard.

From pumpkin to porch

Pick a smooth, round pumpkin and plan the opening
Choose a pumpkin with a wide, even face so the mound shape has room to sit in the middle. Since this design is a full outline, cut your access hole in the bottom rather than the top so the silhouette stays clean. An adult should cut a wide circle from the base at a slight inward angle so the pumpkin sits back down like a cap. Cutting from the bottom also lets you set the pumpkin down right over an LED later.
Scrape the carving wall thin
Scoop out the seeds and pulp, then thin the front wall to about one inch where the design will go. A thinner wall makes the outline cuts easier and lets more light push through. Use a sturdy metal scoop and take your time on the inside face. Even thickness across the whole front keeps the glow consistent around the loop.
Transfer the emoji outline
Print or draw the swirled mound with its two spiral eyes and flat smiling base, then tape the pattern smoothly onto the front. Poke closely spaced dots along every line with a pushpin or a poking tool, including the inside of each spiral. Remove the paper and connect the dots lightly with a pencil so you can see the full continuous outline. Double check that the border keeps at least a quarter inch of skin on each side before you cut anything.
Cut the spiral eyes and thin border first
Start with the smallest, most delicate shapes, the two spiral eyes, using a fine saw blade. Cut slowly and let the blade do the work so the curls do not snap. Then follow the border line of the mound and the smile as a narrow channel, keeping that quarter inch of skin on both sides so the spirals stay anchored. Save any wider sections of the outline for last so the shape stays strong while you work.
Clean the edges and test the glow
Gently push each cut piece out from the inside, then trim any ragged edges with a small detail blade. For a softer halo, lightly peel a thin strip of skin just along the outside of the outline so it glows dim orange and frames the bright cuts. Drop in an LED tea light or a small battery puck and check the balance in a dark room. Widen any spots that look dim, a little at a time.
Set it up and photograph it
Place the finished pumpkin on a flat surface indoors or on a sheltered porch, seated over your LED light. Turn off the room lights and take your photo in near darkness so the outline pops as a ring of orange. Shoot slightly off to one side to catch the curl of the eyes. If the pumpkin will sit out for days, refrigerate it overnight to keep the thin border firm.

Gather your supplies

Check things off as you get ready.

Work on a stable surface, keep your free hand out of the cutting path, and have an adult handle sharp tools.

Three levels of light

Leave intact
The broad face of the mound and the areas around the design stay as untouched skin and read dark.
Peel & shade
An optional thin strip of skin peeled just outside the outline glows soft orange for a gentle halo.
Cut through
The swirled border, the two spiral eyes, and the smile are pierced through for the brightest ring of light.

Learn the carving basics

Before you start cutting

Why should I carve from the bottom instead of the top?

This design is a single continuous outline with no big opening, so a top hole would not help and could weaken the shape. Cutting a wide circle from the base lets you scoop and light the pumpkin while keeping the front silhouette clean. You simply set the whole pumpkin down over the LED like a lid.

How do I keep the spiral eyes from breaking off?

The eyes hang from the curved border line, so that border is your support structure. Keep at least a quarter inch of skin on both sides of every outline cut and use a fine blade with slow, patient strokes. Cut the spirals early while the surrounding pumpkin is still solid, and avoid pressing hard as you push the pieces out.

This is a concept image, so will a real pumpkin glow the same way?

The pictured version is a digital concept, but the design carves well in a real pumpkin as long as you keep the outline narrow and connected. A thinner front wall and a bright LED will give you that continuous ribbon of light. Just respect the quarter inch skin margins so the spirals stay attached.
