If I cut pumpkins for Halloween, I buy them a bit earlier, when the price is lowest. Before Halloween itself, the price of pumpkins goes up in many stores. I'm buying medium-sized orange pumpkins, preferably such, which are not too heavy.
To cut a cool pattern, I usually use the Internet. Wpisuję w Google hasło Halloween pumpkins i wyszukuję grafikę. There you can find thousands of pictures of pumpkins for the festival of the dead, you just need to find one to do a similar one. To start with, I take a pen and draw a pattern on the pumpkin, which I found on the Internet. Most often they are ghastly smiles, slanting eyes or other patterns on the pumpkin. If we paint something with a pen, we always have the opportunity to correct the pattern before we start cutting it. If we already have a pattern, the upper part of the pumpkin with the tail is cut off and the center of the pumpkin should be hollowed out with a spoon., that it becomes empty. Then, with a thin knife, cut out the previously painted pattern into the pumpkin. You need to be careful, so as not to cut the pumpkin in the wrong places, precision and patience are needed for this job.
When the pumpkin is hollowed out, all you have to do is wait for the evening to light a candle inside, it can even be a small heater. The pumpkin lantern should be lit after dark, then you can see a great effect - all holes in the pumpkin shine clearly, such as a smile or eyes.
