Prepare a square of orange colored paper and fold the creases along the two diagonal lines and the center line. Pinch the diagonal creases and press and fold into a triangle. Fold the left and right sides of the triangle table in line with the center line. Turn over and fold the two extra corners of the bottom edge up, the left and right pointed corners to the center, and the top corner down.

Continue to fold the top corners of the table layer outward, the left and right pointed corners inward a bit, and flip over. Take another piece of black colored paper and draw a trace of a pumpkin mouth on it. Use scissors to cut two triangles for the eyes and a small triangle for the nose, then cut the mouth along the trace and glue them one by one, and the simple pumpkin lamp is folded.

The origin of pumpkin lamps:

Pumpkin lamps are a symbol of celebrating Halloween. Legend has it that a man named Jack was so mean that he couldn't enter heaven when he died, and because he made fun of the devil he couldn't enter hell either, so he had to wander around with a lantern until the day of judgment.

People, in order to scare away these wandering spirits on the night before Halloween, used turnips, beets, or potatoes carved into scary faces to represent Jack with a lantern, which is the origin of the pumpkin lamp.
