Its pumpkin time and time for you to get creative.
1. Get yourself some pumpkins that have a good pointy stalk. Then lots of cheap ball point pens from Wilko that cost 28p a pachet of ten. Undo the pen bottoms and get the inky bits out. Keep the clear plastic shaft as this is the bit the light shines up.
2. Now cut a slice from the side of your pumpkin as this is the base. Then clean out the spew of seeds and yukky stuff. Do a good job as you want it as dry as possible in there.
3. Now get your weapon (the drill). Don’t be shy. Start at the ‘hairline’ and follow the natural creases of the pumpkin over its back holding the pumpkin firmly with your other hand.
4. Now admire your handy-work, even though it did make a bit of a mess.
5. Now get your empty pen shafts and stick them in the holes.
6. Add a low-voltage light. I got this one from Ikea. Do not use a candle as the plastic pens will melt.
7. For the eyes I inserted some of the spare pen ends. Black ones looked best.
