Introduction: How to Make an Awesome Pumpkin
One of the most fun parts about halloween is looking and carving all the pumpkins. My favorites are the funny ones. The one I carved this year is one of those. Now I can show you how to make one too.
Step 1: Materials
Stuff you need:
Pumpkin(duh)
Knife
Sharpie/Pencil
Newspaper
Step 2: Faces and Guts
Draw your face onto the pumpkin with the sharpie or pencil. You can also print a stencil and stick it to the pumpkin. Then use a nail to poke many holes along the lines of your stencil.
Take your knife and stick it into the top and carve a circle with a small square in one end(see pic).
Pull Your knife out and pull the stem to pull off the top. Slice all guts off with knife.
Step 3: Get Messy
Take a spoon or something and scrape out all of the guts inside the pumpkin and put it onto the newspaper.
Step 4: The Fun Part
Take your knife and start carving the face. Try to cut out all the sharpie so it makes it look nicer.
Step 5: Saftey
When working with knives, be carful! You don't want this to happen.
Step 6: Finishing Touches...
Try to dump out any guts that didn't make it out. Also cut away jagged edges.
Have fun wih your brand new jack-o-lantern!
