You need: 1 short, sharp knife 1 dessert spoon 1 teaspoon 1 candle or tea-light Plenty of newspaper to protect work surface Large bowl for pumpkin seeds and flesh

Step One: Cut a circular hole around the stalk .

Tilt the point of the knife into the centre of the pumpkin. This will stop the lid from falling in.

Step Two: Scoop out the seeds and any loose flesh using the dessert spoon and the knife if needed.

Step Three: Sketch the face onto your pumpkin. Use a biro so any mistakes can be scrubbed off with a scouring pad or fingernail.

Step Four: Carefully cut out the features. Take small cuts and use a puncturing motion rather than a slicing one.

Step Five: Gently scrape away the flesh on the inside of the face until it is only 1cm thick.

Step Six: Using the knife, mark a circle the size of your candle or tea-light in the centre of the base.

Step Seven: Carefully hollow out the marked area with the teaspoon.

Step Eight: Place your candle in the hollow, light it and replace the lid of your jack-o'-lantern.
