How to Make Halloween Lantern with a Power Drill

This year, my husband and I used the power drill for making Halloween lanterns for our first time. I thought it would be much easier to make them with using power drill but was actually harder than I expected. The power drill was pretty heavy for me and cleaning each hole was a lot of work. However, they turned out very beautiful lanterns as you can see the picture above. :) I'm going to share how to make pumpkin lanterns with a power drill with you.

1. Cut a hole on the bottom of your pumpkin with a carving saw. Then, dig out all of the guts and seeds with a large tablespoon.

2. Mark your pumpkin with a sharpie marker to make sure where you are going to drill.

3. Drill your pumpkins. You can use different sized drill bits.

4. After drilling, scrape the inside of the pumpkin with drill bits you used or something fits the holes to get all the loose pulp out from the holes.
