class=”sc-29f61514-0 icZBHN”>

Carving your own jack-o-lantern isn’t that difficult. There is no limit to creativity; Halloween may be coming.

the right kind

This is a Halloween pumpkin. That’s what the variety is actually called, it is ideal for carving. Although edible, the pulp is not truly edible and is quite soft. It is suitable for carving because its flesh is not too thick. The interior basically consists of just hollow space and cores. That’s why it’s perfect as a “pumpkin Halloween lantern”.

right tool

To carve the pumpkin, of course, we need a pumpkin, a knife to carve, a spoon to scoop out the inside, and a pencil to paint the pumpkin face so we know where to cut it later.

how to

1. First, we need to cut the cover of the pumpkin.
2. For this, we drew the shape we wanted.
3. Then we carefully cut off the cover with a knife.
4. Once you have finished carving around the handle, you can carefully grab the handle and pull.
5. Once the lid is gone, it’s time to drain it. You actually have to scrape out all the seeds and all the pulp.
6. Once the pumpkin is empty, it is carved nicely and cleanly.
7. Then we can start drawing the face with a pencil.
8. First we draw inside the eyes. Then comes the nose. Next comes the mouth. Then we’ll make a few more teeth.
9. Once you’re done drawing the face, it’s just a matter of running the knife along the line… and cutting out the eyes, mouth, and nose.

carving tips

Use some caution when carving. Especially when carving with a sharp knife. Not that he cut his fingers. You don’t have to worry about anything breaking either. Pumpkins are generally relatively sturdy and can always be improved.
