DIY Jack-O'-Lanterns with WTTW | Halloween 2020

During Halloween, Americans love to carve pumpkins. These pumpkins are called “Jack O’ Lanterns” and are the perfect spooky decorations! 🎃🎃🎃


You will need a carving knife, something to poke holes with, something to scrape with, and of course a pumpkin! Note, if you use a marker to draw on your pumpkin (such as I did), you can later remove the marks with rubbing alcohol.


1. Cut the top off your pumpkin. Note: When carving the pumpkin, using the hole poking tool can make initial cuts or changing directions easier.

2. Scoop all the pumpkin insides and seeds out. Pumpkin seeds can be later roasted for a yummy snack!

3. Carve your pumpkin into any design you like. You can first draw out a pattern like I did.

4. Replace the cap of your pumpkin.

5. Place a light source (such as a candle) inside the pumpkin.

在万圣节期间,美国人喜欢雕刻南瓜。这些南瓜被称为“ Jack O’Lanterns”,是怪异装饰品的最佳选择!🎃🎃🎃


你将需要一把雕刻刀,一些可以戳孔的东西或者一些可以刮的东西。当然别忘了,还有南瓜!


1. 把南瓜的头部切开一个孔。注意:当我们雕刻南瓜的时候,用钻孔的小工具可以让我们在一开始切割的时候或者雕不同方向的花纹的时候容易一些。

2. 将南瓜的果肉和南瓜子给取出,南瓜子可以用来烤成美味的小吃

3. 根据你最喜爱的造型,雕刻你的南瓜。你可以和我一样,先设计一个造型

4. 给南瓜更换它的“帽子”

5. 在南瓜内部放一个光源,蜡烛是很好的选择!
