2. Removing the lid. Trace a square or hexagon with a felt-tip pen along the top of the pumpkin, an inch or two from the stalk. Using a fiercely sharp knife with the blade pointing away from you, cut along those lines, into the flesh. Angle the knife slightly inwards: if you cut down vertically, the lid might fall into the pumpkin.
去掉南瓜頂。用粗簽字筆在南瓜頂部劃一個半徑1到2英寸的方形或六角形，用鋒利的刀片沿著畫好的線切下去。讓刀口有一定向內(nèi)的角度——如果你垂直著切，頂部就會掉到南瓜里面。

Step3

3. Remove the lid and scoop out the seeds and flesh – you can either keep the seeds for eating (roast for 20 minutes at 180C, tossed in olive oil, seasoning and spices) or use them as a vomity accessory for your final pumpkin.
拿走南瓜頂，將種子和肉挖出來——你也可以吃了這些種子（在180度下烘烤20分鐘，加點橄欖油，調(diào)味料和香料）或者作為你南瓜的嘔吐物道具。

Step4

4. Tape a design to its surface and punch out dotted lines using your 'pointer'.
將你的圖案貼在南瓜上，用鉆孔器在上面打好點線。

Step5

5. When you punch through your design remember the more holes you make the more clearly you'll see the design when you remove the paper.
記住，當(dāng)你移開設(shè)計圖時，你打的洞越多你的圖案就會越清晰。

Step6

6. Take your saw and cut along the lines through the flesh and into the pumpkin. The pieces should then punch out relatively easily.
用你的鋸片沿著線切，那些南瓜片會很輕易地掉下來。

Step7

7. Finish by very carefully trimming off the skin over your pattern. Sharpen your knife again if you need to.
非常小心地從表面修去南瓜表皮，你可能需要把刀磨得快些。

Step8

8. Once the skin is removed, the design should stand out more clearly.
一旦南瓜的表皮被切掉，設(shè)計就會更清晰得顯現(xiàn)。
