Trio Silhouette KPop Demon Hunters Jack-O-Lantern

From pumpkin to porch

1. 1

   Hollow and prep

   Cut a back opening and hollow the pumpkin to a consistent 1-inch wall on the front face. The three profile openings will remove significant rind area, so starting with an even wall gives the remaining bridges their maximum strength. Dry the interior before beginning the transfer.

2. 2

   Plan the three profile positions

   Hold the template against the pumpkin and confirm all three profile shapes fit across the front with at least 1 inch of rind between each profile and at least 1.5 cm between each profile and the pumpkin's outer edge. Mark the center of each profile lightly in pencil before perforating the outlines.

3. 3

   Transfer the profiles

   Perforate the outer boundary of each profile shape with a stylus. Rumi's braid silhouette has a long thin extension at the back of the neck, Mira's swept hair sweeps broadly upward, and Zoey's two round buns sit symmetrically above the head. Transfer each profile carefully because the hair shape is what identifies each character.

4. 4

   Cut the outer profiles

   Begin with the outermost profile on either end to avoid crowding. Cut around each profile's outer boundary in small smooth segments, following organic curves on the hair shapes with short curved saw strokes. Remove each head-and-hair piece cleanly in one motion where possible.

5. 5

   Cut the center profile

   Cut the center profile last, working carefully around its outline without pressing into the adjacent openings on either side. The rind bridges on each side of the center opening are the smallest in the design, so use particularly light saw pressure and avoid lateral movements.

6. 6

   Light and display

   Insert a warm LED and view the display in a dark room. All three profile shapes should glow evenly. Adjust the LED position so the light reaches all three openings without leaving one profile dimmer than the others. Display at a height where all three are visible simultaneously.
