Halloween approaches. It's time to think about decorations for the party, which will especially make children happy. We had already explained to you how to create pumpkin-shaped decorations with recycled materials, and now here are the useful indications to create one Halloween lantern starting from one pumpkin.
The choice of pumpkin is very important. You can opt for one common vegetable garden gourd, which you can empty and keep the pulp for your recipes. Or you can choose the classic orange pumpkin which is sown specifically for this occasion. It has little pulp and many seeds. It is considered an inedible pumpkin, but easy to engrave and work with. The waste parts will be useful for your composter.
Pumpkins are delicious ingredients and at the same time essential decorative elements in autumn to make this season more cheerful. Walking through the country farms we can admire the spectacle of the pumpkins that adorn arcades and entrances. Even those who live in the city can bring a touch of color in your own home thanks to the liveliness of the pumpkins.
Here the tutorial proposed by Cortilia per turn a pumpkin into a Halloween lantern.
Index
Engrave the base
Place the pumpkin on a cutting board and cut the base with a thin and well-sharpened knife.
Engrave the heart of the pumpkin
Cut the heart of the pumpkin with a small knife in order to facilitate the extraction of pulp and seeds.
Empty the pumpkin
At this point - even the little ones can have fun - with the help of a spoon empty the pumpkin, digging to the bottom (be careful not to break it since the skin is rather soft, if you use the typical Halloween orange pumpkin).
Carving eyes and mouth
Draw eyes, nose and mouth of the pumpkin with the help of a small knife or toothpick. Free your imagination. Then engrave with a sharp knife.
5) The lantern is ready
The Halloween pumpkin is ready! You just have to think about how to light it, if you want, place it at the entrance or hang it.
