Every Halloween, supermarkets in Western countries sell basketball-sized pumpkins. These pumpkins are not meant for eating, but for carving cute jack-o-lanterns. If your friends also want to join in the fun of Halloween, you can learn how to carve a pumpkin lantern below.
First cut out a hat on one end of the pumpkin, making the cut surface as smooth as possible.
Take out the flesh of the pumpkin, select the part to be carved, and thin the skin from the inside.
Use a pen to draw ghost faces and other patterns on the surface of the pumpkin, carve it with a knife, and erase the handwriting after completion.
Use toothpicks to secure the candle to the bottom of the pumpkin, and a simple Halloween pumpkin lantern is ready.
You can also search for a satisfactory pattern on the Internet, print it and paste it on the surface of the pumpkin, and then carve it.
If you want to keep the jack-o'-lantern longer, you can apply Vaseline or diluted lemon juice on the inside, outside and cutouts of the jack-o'-lantern.
