做南瓜灯的英语步骤、只要6步!
Step1 - Choose a pumpkin
Choose a firm pumpkin with at least one side that has a smooth,blemish-free face.
It doesn't matter if one side of the pumpkin is nasty looking,just turn that side to the wall.Step 2 - Get out your tools!
The pumpkin carving kits that are sold at Wal-Mart,target and some grocery stores are excellent.they usually cost between $2 and $4,and have a couple dozen designs in them (meaning you could carve as many as 24 pumpkins with one kit).You can keep the kit and re-use it next year,so don't be a tightwad and just carve an insipid smiley-face pumpkin,when you can make something really amazing!
Step 3 - Stab your Pumpkin in the Head!
...with the serrated knife in the kit.Start near what will be the back side,about 3 inches from the stem and slowly work your way around the top.Before you complete the circle,cut a notch so the lid will fit securely back in the hole
Step 4 - Rip your pumpkin's lid off!
No,it won't scream.(you've been watching too many horror movies).But it may take a strong tug to pull it free (the stringy "brains" are still connected to the seeds on the inside).
Step 5 - Plunge your hand in and pull out the pumpkin brains!
Eeewwwww!I can just hear you.Yes,stick your hand into the glop,stringy,icky stuff and try not to think of it as "pumpkin brains".I said DON'T think of it as pumpkin brains!Too late.Oh,well...
Pull as much out as you can with your hand,then.Step 6 - Scrape the inside walls
Use the scoop from your kit,or an ice cream scoop,or a metal measuring cup (the 1 cup size works well on large pumpkins,the one half cup size on smaller ones)
Scrape the inside walls clean,especially the front surface,as any stringy bits will block the light!
Now,have one of the children start separating the seeds from the glop.kids seem to actually enjoy this menial task.
Later,we'll throw the seeds out,but it will keep the rugrats busy for a while.(Only kidding!You can roast the seeds,save them to grow a pumpkin next year or feed them to the birds.)
Step 7 - Cut the loose glop off from the pumpkin lid
Pretty self-explanatory...
Step 8 - Attach the carving kit's design template
Attach the paper design to the front side of the pumpkin.Some packaging clear tape works well.I imagine duct tape would too,it seems to be good for everything (and you're supposed to have some as part of your anti-terrorism kit,remember.I don't know why...maybe terrorists are afraid of pumpkins...or duct tape)
to be continued.
