How to Make a Jack-o'-lantern for Halloween

My Jack-o'-lantern for Halloween

My husband and I made six Halloween pumpkins this year, and this Jack-o'-lantern, which was pretty easy to make, was one of them. :) Since it's not common to make Jack-o'-lanterns in Halloween in Japan, I wanted to show how to make it in Japanese through Youtube. I usually tended to choose more difficult pattern for making Halloween lantern every year, but I chose easier one which everyone can try this year. :) Anyway I'm going to share how to make it with you. :)

How to Make a Jack-o'-lantern for Halloween

A fresh pumpkin
A pumpkin carving saw
A scoop or a tablespoon
A needle tool or a fork

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. Draw your design on paper for your pumpkin pattern.

3. Tape the pattern to your pumpkin. Then, poke holes to outline the pattern with the a sharp pointed tool.
