1 Halloween Pineapple Lantern (Model 1)

Tools Required

To make a Halloween pineapple lantern (Model 1), you need to prepare the following tools and ingredients:

• 1 pineapple
• 1 cutting board
• 1 regular knife
• 1 fruit carving knife
• 1 drill
• 1 fruit scraper
• 1 tea light candle

Steps to Follow

Step 1: Cut the pineapple in half

First, place the pineapple horizontally on the cutting board. Then, use the knife to cut from the top to the bottom. The distance from the crown to the cut is 4cm.

Step 2: Scrape the pineapple flesh

Next, set the crown aside. For the bottom part, use the knife to make deep X-shaped cuts on the surface of the cut, then proceed to scrape out all the pineapple flesh into a bowl, leaving only the skin.

Step 3: Create eyes and mouth for the lantern

After scraping out all the pineapple flesh, use the fruit carving knife to cut out 3 triangular holes on the skin to create the eyes and mouth for the lantern.

Next, take the drill to make a few small holes around it, so that when the candle is lit, the light will shine through.

Step 4: Finalize

Place the candle inside the hollowed pineapple and cover it with the crown on top. Thus, you have completed a unique, “spooky” lantern to decorate your home for Halloween!
