Preparation materials: pumpkins (of any size), paper with printed patterns, toothpicks, pointed fruit knives, small carving knives for children (available online), markers, transparent adhesive, black paper, candles and small plates for putting candles.

Production method:

1, first choose a beautiful pumpkin, wash it, and wipe off the water stains on the surface. Print the pattern to be carved on paper and prepare it.

2. Cut a circle above the pumpkin to make a cover, dig out the pumpkin meat and clean the inner wall.

3. Then cut the pattern, stick it on the pumpkin with transparent glue, and use toothpicks to make holes along the pattern, which is more conducive to carving, and stick it every 3 mm as a sketch of carving.

4. Carve carefully according to the toothpick sketch, pay attention to where it is connected with the remaining pumpkins, and don't make a big hole with one knife. Outline first, details later, middle first, then all around. When finished, gently draw branches and other patterns around with a carving knife.

5. Try to keep the pumpkin pieces intact, cut them into castles with a carving knife, and fix them with toothpicks at the bottom.

6. Finally, put a candle inside the pumpkin lantern. The candle can be put in a small dish and then put in the pumpkin. Fix the small castle in front of the candle.
