The availability and cheapness of the pumpkin makes it an ideal material for a variety of crafts. They are especially relevant at the end of October, when many English-speaking countries celebrate Halloween. For CIS residents, this slightly eerie holiday also fell in love, so on October 31, you can see Jack's lights, made with pumpkin hands, various houses and other compositions from this culture at the door of the house.
We offer an uncomplicated master class, with which you can easily make a pumpkin house.
We will need:
- pumpkin;
- knife;
- nails;
- chisel.
- Before you make a house of pumpkin, decide how many of them will be in the composition. If everything is clear with one house, multi-level compositions require some adjustments. So, for example, for a multi-tiered house it will be necessary to process a pumpkin not only from above, but also from below, so that it stays steady on the bottom. So, the pumpkin should be cleaned of seeds and pulp, using a knife.
- Now mark the mark on the pumpkin in the places where the doors and windows will be located. It is more convenient to do this with the help of special templates, there are plenty of them on the web. Then start cutting out the parts. Carved shutters and other decorative elements can be cut using curly-shaped kitchen tools. It is not necessary to follow the neatness and clarity of the lines, this will give the house a more sombre and ominous look. Prepare the prepared parts to the pumpkin with small cloves.
- It's time to take up the roof. We make in a circle incisions resembling tiles. For this it is more convenient to use a chisel.
- The house is ready, but if you put a candle inside a pumpkin or gauze and wire make ghost mock-ups, then the craft will shine with new colors.
