Step 1:
Trace a line pattern onto the pumpkin, just a small, almost oval shape you can fit your head through. I recommend using a hot knife to cut the pumpkin, but if not, a box cutter may work.
Step 2:
Make sure the pumpkin fits on your head comfortably before continuing on.
Step 3:
Cut eye holes into the pumpkin. I recommend measuring out your face to find the comfiest place for the eyes.
Step 4:
I airbrushed the inside of the pumpkin head black to blend my face in it better.
Step 5:
Print the lenses linked at the bottom of the tutorial to use for the eyes. I printed two and controlled them with a servo.
Step 6:
Add the circuit linked below to the pumpkin head. I taped the LED strip where the mouth would be.
Step 7:
Wear it and enjoy.
