  1 dessert spoon

  1 teaspoon

  Step Three: Sketchthe face onto your pumpkin. Use a biroso any mistakes can be scrubbed off with a scouring pad or fingernail.

  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.
