 * Select a healthy pumpkin. When you're choosing a pumpkin, try to pick one that's free of nicks, bruises and cuts. Look for a sturdy stem that doesn't feel too bendable, and for mostly consistent color all the way around.
 * Knock or thump on the skin like you would a melon; if you hear a hollow sound, the pumpkin is ripe.
 * Then cut off the top and take out the inside of the pumpkin and cut out a face.
 * Next put a lit candle inside and...voila a pumpkin lantern. [[image:http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTxqQwH9wifU2eFOr2dzvblrMnffrpNE4FoIXqoFODO5_ys__5_ width="275" height="183"]]
