How to Make a Jack O' Lantern from an Empty Toilet Paper Roll Oct 23rd 2012, 08:00 Carved Jack O' Lantern pumpkins are one traditional way to celebrate Halloween. But you might think that they're too hard to carve or perhaps you're thinking that they're just too common. If this is the case, consider making a Jack O' Lantern that is somewhat different from the usual pumpkin, while at the same time recycling household paper products. Just read this article and you'll be able to make one in no time! Edit Steps Press the toilet paper roll flat. Using the image shown here, make specific cuts in the roll. It may help to draw the lines indicated by the arrows first, then cut (print out the template shown here so that it's easier to follow). Be sure to cut the face first, then cut the neck zone. Open out the flattened roll so that the cuts show the facial features of the Jack O' Lantern. Insert the tea light candle into the opened out roll. Provided you remain vigilant and stay with the decoration at all times, you can use real tea light candles. However, it's a lot safer to use the battery operated LED tea lights, as there is no chance of the paper roll catching alight. To insert the Jack O' Lantern into a real tea light candle, remove the candle from its little container. Adjust the size of the roll by fitting it into the container, then adding the candle back in. The inserted Jack O' Lantern decoration: Experiment with the features of the Jack O' Lantern. You might like to add additional features to the decoration, such as the horns shown in this image. Template for the horns feature: Done. Edit Tips If you're worried about this paper decoration catching on fire, use an LED tea light instead. Edit Warnings When displaying, ensure that there are no flammable materials around. Never leave this object unattended if using a real candle. The slightest knock, breeze or movement could cause the flame to catch on the paper decoration and burn it.
