First of all, you need to buy a medium-sized pumpkin, preferably a pumpkin with a smooth and flawless surface.

Make a top hole

Cut off the top of the pumpkin with a knife and make a round hole. The hole should be large enough to accommodate hands to clean the inside of the pumpkin.

Wash the inside of the pumpkin

Clean the pulp and seeds in the pumpkin with a spoon. After cleaning the inside of the pumpkin, trim the edge of the nozzle with a small saw.

Make pumpkin face

Put the pumpkin on the table and draw the pumpkin face on the surface with a knife. Pumpkin faces can be designed according to their own preferences and creativity, and various forms of pumpkin faces can be made.

Cut the pumpkin face

Cut the painted pumpkin face along the line with a knife. When cutting, try to ensure that the blade is smooth and avoid the incision being too large.

Install lamps and lanterns

Put the candle or LED lamp into the pumpkin and cover the top of the pumpkin, and the pumpkin lamp is made.

Matters needing attention

Pay attention to the following items when making pumpkin lanterns:

Be careful when using a knife to avoid cutting your fingers.

Be careful when cleaning the inside of the pumpkin to avoid soiling the pulp and seeds.

The inside of the jack-o-lantern should be kept dry to prevent the candle or LED lamp from going out.

The jack-o'-lantern should be placed in a stable place to avoid tilting.
