How to Carve a Pumpkin Lantern
You will need: •
• •
Spoon
You can now buy specialist pumpkin- carving sets which contain plastic serrated saws, scrapers and scoops.
• Cooking Oil •
Felt-tip Pens • Newspaper for working on
Instructions: 1. Draw a circle or hexagon on top of the pumpkin (where the stem is). This will be the lid which you remove so you can insert your hand.
2. Cut through the pumpkin-top with the knife. Use a back-and-forth slicing motion to cut through the thick, tough skin. Remove the cap, scrape off any pulp and seeds and add a couple of slit vents to allow heat to escape.
3. Scoop out the seeds and pulp using the spoon.
4. Draw a pattern for the face on to the pumpkin with a felt-tip pen. Make the eyes, nose and mouth larger than you think you need, because you will have a hard time cutting out tiny features from the tough skin.
5. Follow your pattern as you cut all the way through the pumpkin. Push the cut-out features gently from the inside of the pumpkin and discard the pieces.
6. Place a night-light inside the pumpkin to create an eerie glow.
Tip: Coat the cut pumpkin-edges with cooking oil to keep the lantern fresh longer.
