Halloween Origins

Halloween or All Hallows Eve is the evening before the November, 1st, the day when ancient Celts celebrated the New Year. That holiday symbolized the end of summer and the beginning of a long cold and scary winter. Celts named that night between summer and winter the night of Samhain and believed that the line between the world of the living and the world of dead get very thin that very evening. The ghosts of the dead return that night to Earth and may wander among the living ones and even do some bad to them.

And so the many traditions was born. People used bonfires out of carved pumpkins to scare away the ghosts and demons with lighting faces. Lots of lights, scary faces, spooky decorations were meant to trick demons and make them let the living ones alone.

The centuries went by, but the traditions remain. But today they are less scary and more funny and entertaining. People still decorate their houses with bats and cats silhouettes, carve ugly snoots on pumpkins and dress up in witches and zombies. But hardly anyone believes that all this stuff is still to scare demons away.

How to carve an eye-catching Halloween pumpkin

After a close look at all these Halloween creations I have a great desire to carve my own Halloween decoration. I think I’m not alone, so let’s make our Halloween pumpkin together. 🙂 We can do it easily without buying expensive accessories. All we need are only a pumpkin, sharp knife or pumpkin-carving saw, spoon, some paints, cool stencil to draw a freaky face and candle to illuminate your design.

First step. Choose a fresh pumpkin in a round or oval shape that fits to your needs.

Second step. Draw the circle on the top of the pumpkin to prepare the space for your hand to reach through. Then cut via the stem end and use to and fro motions to cut down the tough skin.

Third step. Pull the steam gently to remove the top. With the large spoon scrape away any seeds and pulp.

Fourth step. Sketch the face of your Jack o’lantern on the clean pumpkin. It would be better if you practice on a paper at first. You can draw the picture with the help of pencil, pen or water-resistant marker, make sure all details are large enough to cut out small features.

Fifth step. Now it comes time to cut out your design. Follow the sketch while you cut the face, then push the cut-out parts from the inside of a pumpkin. To keep your Halloween pumpkin fresh, coat the cut edges with oil.
