If you are new to carving in a hard matter, we advise you to start with the classics and make the usual lantern of Jack. "Face" of such a pumpkin is familiar with everyone: her nose and eyes in the form of triangles, and the mouth is omnipped. In order for the lamp to succeed in glory, the main thing is to choose a round and symmetrical vegetable. Pumpkin needs to be washed, degrease the surface with alcohol, cut off the "cap" and leak out the spoon of flesh and seeds. Then apply the desired drawing and cut it with a knife. So that the vegetable does not swell, rinse it well inside with a vaseline or bold cream. In the final to put inside the candle or electric garland.
Who said that pumpkin on Halloween must be terrible? Its "face" can be given any expression, and it is possible and not limited to this, creating whole compositions! Cheerful pumpkins, evil and predatory pumpkins, pumpkins with teeth, winking, frightened, laughs - All these variations will be able to make a vivid impression on your guests in Halloween.
In the West, the pumpkins cut out mostly children, so it is not surprising that with the threshold of each house on passers-by, Spiders, Pokemon, family members of Adams and other fictional characters are watching. At the same time, it is not necessary to completely copy the image of the hero, a sufficiently characteristic detail. For example, for Bart and Ernie from "Sesame Street" it is round noses, fur eyebrows and dolls. If this method of preparation of pumpkin seems to you too complicated, you can simply draw the face with acrylic paints on it.
Mummy is a popular image on Halloween, so why not give her features and pumpkin? To do this, it is not even necessary to engage in carving, you can simply wrap the vegetable bandages and draw your mouth from above and stick your eyes. If you want to get the lantern as a result, you still have to make several holes. Preparatory stage The same as for any lamp of Jack: wash, degrease, clean the cavity, cut the face.
Zombies are another popular image of Halloween, and pumpkin looks very organic in it. The main thing for such a character is to make the resulting brain with which it will have to be pretty tinned. As in the standard version, the fruit needs to be washed through the side hole to clean the cavity, cut the nose, mouth and eyes. Then cut the peel at the top of the pumpkin, leaving a rather thin layer of pulp. The farther is small - with the help of a handle, a manicure chopstick or another thin item to portray brainmeam and folds.
It is interesting to pumpkin in the form of a witch's house, and if you have strength and desire, you can create a whole witchcale quarter. Make the hut is even easier than the usual lantern of Jack. To do this, you need to apply a drawing on the surface of the vegetable, and then cut the windows, doors, the moon, stars and other details of your composition. In the final, do not forget to put the candle inside the pumpkin. The mysterious light, pouring from the house of the house, will remind you and your guests that you are not alone in the night of Halloween.
If all the options above you are not impressed, we propose to make a smoky pumpkin. This will require glycerin, which is easy to buy in a pharmacy or shop with goods for creativity, and a tin can. Pumpkin needs to be cleaned from the inside and cut the face, then put a lit candle in a vegetable. Tinning to cut in half, leaving the "legs": there should be something like aromalamps. To cover this design with a candle, and pour glycerin into the recess on top. Under the influence of heat, he will smoke, creating a truly demonic effect.
Such a lantern will suit those who already have enough hand for previous holidays. Cut the pattern or some picture (especially with an abundance of small parts) is much more difficult than the usual Jack's face. Optimal option For beginners - use the paper stencil, which you need to attach a scotch to the pumpkin. Under the contours of the pattern, walk with a selection and only after that it is taken for the knife. An important nuance: The more difficult drawing, the thinner there must be the walls of the pumpkin.
Such a pumpkin will not be able to become a full-fledged lantern of Jack, but here is a cute detail of the festive interior - quite. In this case, you do not need to cut the fruit, remove the flesh with seeds and think about how to better put a candle. But it will have to take care of a friend - about a decent set of tools for carving. Ideal for wood cutters, but you can try to work with a zest to remove the zest. To make it easier, it is worth cutting a drawing on a stencil.
There are such people - perfectionists. And if one of these comrades will take cut pumpkin on Halloween, it is definitely not limited to a toothmatic grin and eye slits. Not. It will cut a really cool pumpkin with a carriage with a carriage, from which frozen zombies climb in different directions! Such creation will not be able to repeat for a long time - because the sculpture is based on sAMI big pumpkin in the world.
The author of this vegetable sculpture is already well known to the readers of Culturology.ru American sculptor and Ray Villafane (Ray Villafane). We already admired his pumpkins on Halloween, and a sandy sculpture ... Ray's talent is highly appreciated worldwide. And the new challenge, who threw the sculptor himself, began two huge pumpkins at once: 761 kilogram vegetable, assembled by Bordsen, and 825-kilogram titanic gardens, grown by Jim Bruson. The second pumpkin is the biggest in the world! So the work of Villafayne became epic before the start.
Bordsen and Bryson knew who to entrust the pumpkin. Villafain did not regret the texture and natural shape of a huge vegetable, covered with cracks, and from the internal pumpkin, which is smaller, cut out zombies. Fruit texture as it is impossible to suit the image of the rebels.
Karvering's masterpiece hardly someone repeats, and even more so it will surpass: for this you need to take even more epic vegetables! Pumpkin on Halloween Ray Villafey will be exhibited in the New York Botanical Garden (and this, believe me, is a great honor) all over the holiday. And if it seems to you that the pumpkin came out too scary, and it was worth cut something optimistic - that, probably, you do not understand something in Halloween.
History keeps somewhere deep in his annals, under the seven silver seals the memory of some kind of Jack, Irish, who for the first time in the history of the newest world decided to enjoy the devil himself, brazenly filling it.
And it was so. Jack walked in the district of a stupid and cruel farmer, which often climbed into the local restaurant. He always took a couple of stiff cups there, drank, and rowed in full. But in that evening, he refused to pour without money. And then the lord of Hell offered his services to the distressed to Jack. Like, I will pay for your drink, and you give me your soul. Everyone, as in the best modern scenarios of loved ones by many, horror items. Jack accepted that the offer for a long time not thinking. I really wanted to drink. And the devil, in order to pay alcohol, turned into a coin. And Jack, instead of paying with the innkeeper, took the coin and put himself in his pocket, where Mother's silver cross always wore. Oh, and what happened to the unclean! He began to cry and begging to release him "because of the sinus of God," more conceived to accept any conditions of Jack. And the one, besides a few years of a comfortable and carefree life on this earth, asked to sign an oath, according to which his soul will never take him to hell! Heath he was very, that Jack!
Having lived for a few more years, Jack died. But the road to Paradise was closed for him (after all, on Earth, he was an unfinished sinner), and in hell, fulfilling the terms of the contract, the devil did not take him. It is concerned that the sorry Jack is still wandering around the ground with a ridiculous soul between the paradise and hell. Although, accomplishing a poor fellowship in such an hopeless journey, the devil decided to make a good deed for him: I took a few coal from the hellish fire and gave them to Jack so that he could highlight his way. And Jack, so that the gift is unclean enough to him for longer, cut out the lantern from the turnip and placed coals inside. Superval people believe that Jack is still wandering around the ground with his lantern, illuminating the way with smoldering hellish coal.
In the ancient England and Ireland, Jack with a lantern-repo was a permanent hero of mystical street theatricalizations in the night of all saints (from October 31 to November 1). He symbolized the reminder of the hell as such, and at the same time - defended the houses of decent, good people from the unclean. But when Halloween "migrated" to the North American continent, replaced the turnip of the pumpkin. Why so, before this day, no one reliably knows. Yes, it doesn't matter at all! After all, the main thing is that the unquestion remains: the pumpkin-lantern Jack, with candles inside and the unique terrible "entourage" from the outside became an absolute symbol of a night unusual holiday. Even in our country, far from American traditions (and the scale of the celebration), almost annually arrange a competition for the most original pumpkin-lantern. That's it precisely for those who have gathered in something similar to participate, our next ten extraordinary pumpkin ideas!
To begin with - learn to do the most simple face. And already "squeezing a hand" Let's try to do something more complicated! Follow the instructions!
1 step. Cut a hole in the pumpkin. In order to make a lantern with the face, you need to take the pumpkin of medium sizes, almost even and symmetrical shape. Cut a lid with a tail.
2 step. Select inside. Then, a special scraper resembling an externally spatula for plaster, carefully choose the pulp of pumpkins and seeds. Rinse and dry the finished shell.
3 step. Apply a drawing. Initially - Draw the face in a full scale (such as you would like to see on a pumpkin) on a sheet of paper. Then - attach a paper template to the pumpkin and with the help of acute sequel transfer the drawing from paper on the berry.
4 step. Cut drawing. Remove the template and jigsaw cut the mouth, the nose and eyes of the "Lanarilar's horror". You can also use a drill with a drill in ½ or 3 \\ 4 inches, to cut out of hard-to-reach areas.
5 step. Shine. To illuminate the face, you can use both a standard candle and an electric garland. If you like the Candle option more - be sure to follow the compliance with the rules fire safety. And even so that the pumpkin does not inxpose into particularly heated areas, lubricate it carefully from the inside with sunflower oil or vaseline. If you like the option with a garland - fasten it so inside the pumpkin, so that the wiring and light bulbs come into contact with each other ( perfect option - turn the garland on glass jar). For good lighting of the pumpkin of medium sizes, it is enough for garlands with a 20th bulbs.
If I do not want to be especially melted with the "face", you can make a simpler flashlight from the pumpkin: to start - to cut the pumpkin gently "cover", then you can choose a spoon of flesh and seeds, give a little dry. Then - drill neat holes, giving them a combination form of an intricate pattern.
And one more "Pumpkin - Technical" Tip: You can cut holes in a pumpkin using an ordinary hammer and metal form For cookies. Install the mold in the right place and neatly, gently tapping with a hammer, make a hole.
That's all! Flash on health! These five stages are a pumpkin production algorithm - Jack Lantern for Halloween. On their basis (adding advice with molds for cookies and openwork cutting with an electric drill), you can make many interesting, mysterious, very creative and even glamorous lamps. Do not believe? Then, rather read on!
Applying a little creative fantasy You can create a unique emotion theater from pumpkins! Your pumpkins, thanks to you, will be terrible and harsh, or - will be complacently smiling to your guests! It is only possible to change the angle of smile and the eye shape!
A little strengthen the effect of "pumpkin emotion" can be initially painted every berry in white and black color. Black pumpkins, of course, will perform on the side of the evil (and therefore they will rinse the curves of the teeth), and white ones on the side of good (these, of course, will be cute to smile in passersby).
Well, this family can not do not die at all! They are similar to the favorites of children - bringing with the cartoon "Casper". Such a gamma of emotions on their orange faces is just a masterpiece of the artist who worked with the soul!
The highlight of your, personal pumpkin on the festival of darkness can be just similar to your appearance, with the appearance of the character in your hands. Hair from threads, cap, beads - and you are already almost one face!
Another interesting approach to the design of pumpkins is the drawing of the face. Emotions in such creatures are much brighter! True, there is one minus - their faces are visible only in the afternoon, "night lighting" through the painted eyes will not be visible.
Here is this kind ticking, too, with painted eyes. But really the main work of art here is not even she herself, but its intricate withel hat, decorated with leaves, berries, branches! Super! With such a pumpkin, you definitely defeat the competition!
Draw faces such pumpkins need waterproof paints of technical purposes, or - to use the application, cutting out the "face details" from metallized cardboard or simple color paper!
Another interesting element, which also works great on the enhancement of emotions - fur eyebrows and mustache, glued to the pumpkin with the help of rubber glue. How do you like these hot Caucasian men?
In the US, the manufacture of lantern-pumpkins for Halloween is mainly engaged in children. Accordingly, many of the mysterious "coal" creatures resemble modern terribles and good superheroes. Among your favorite fabulous characters, the children, in the pumpkin, most often embody superheroes from the "Superfame" - elastics, kids, ice, etc.
Although, it is often possible to see in the window and pumpkin - a special thing that is trying to merge with the environment so that you can see and hear as much as possible ...
However, among the fabulous creatures, the pumpkins can be found and the pumpkin in the magic cap, theatrical mask and a friendly smile on his fiery-red face.
Well, the most favorite hero of last year, embodied in the pumpkin, became Mike Vazovsky, Green One-eyed Montstric-Dobryak with Monsters Corporation. Make such a pumpkin is not difficult. True, it is important to be able to draw well, as the monster face is not carved, but is applied with a resistant paint in several stages. First - the green base, then (when dry) - the protein of a huge eye, and then - pupil, horns and mouth.
Well, another indisputable leader who can be deservedly to give a prize of visual sympathies - pumpkin - Spiderman. Very organic image for Halloween, isn't it?
Mummy is also one of the leaders of the "Oktyabrsky Masquerade of Surgery." Among the Scriptures of Hollywood Horror, this image does not lose its popularity, respectively - the first comes to mind to the manufacture of pumpkin to the admirers of such films.

You can look deeper into the philosophy of the holiday, for example, to remember the constant satellites and assistants of all evil forces: Night Owns-Pugaches, bats, and, of course, witchfood cats!
Another pumpkin option is an orange vampire! Its fundamental difference from the others described by us earlier, pumpkins, there is a "plug-in jaw" with real, huge fangs!
To make such a pumpkin blood, you will need: jigsaw (in order to carefully cut all the necessary holes), two tailor pins with red large "heads" and plastic jaw (which can be bought at any store of theatrical details).
And sometimes the artist to satisfy the flight of his fantasy, a little selected one canvas. If you are not a joke, getting ready for Halloween, and you have little one pumpkin to embody the image of that Hero, whom you would like to see the door of your house in a terrible night not trouble! You can connect to each other several pumpkins and create a bulk composition! Wear a bathrobe on it, such as such and get the most original pumpkin.
For example, to make such a giant orange spider,
or - to create a pumpkin snowman (after all, the winter is not far from the mountain!).
And since we started talking about the complex and volumetric pumpkin compositions - we will offer you some more options, with whom (if they like them) will have to be pregnant! But believe me, the game is worth the candle (both in direct and in the portable value of this statement)! We guarantee, repeat at your personal exhibition will not be anyone! Now explain why.
For example, to make such a fierce viking with the baby in the mouth you need to possess not only the dexterity of the hands and skill in the use of the instrument, but also a huge artistic talent, the skills of creating theatrical masks, taste, and good light percement.

Well, the witch is worthy of all silence! By the way, an excellent idea to make a candle hole from the opposite side (leaving the cover with a tail of untouched). The nose of the old woman did not have to model! Nature took care of everything!
