How to make a fire pumpkin with a smoke effect

Halloween is very close, so we are in a hurry to present you another piece of material homemade for this holiday. What we didn’t do: they pierced a finger, a nail, made a mask. However, we simply could not forget about the most important symbol of this gloomy holiday - about a pumpkin. In this article, we will consider a method of manufacturing a fire pumpkin with a smoke effect in home conditions.

We offer you to familiarize yourself with the process of making the original pumpkin in the video



So we need:
- pumpkin;
- a tablespoon;
- knife;
- scissors;
- glycerin;
- lighter;
- a candle;
- can.

You should not use a very large pumpkin: it is enough to have a medium-sized pumpkin on hand. As for the rest of the materials and tools, then all this is likely to be found in every home. With the materials sorted out, you can proceed.

First of all, from the side of the pumpkin stalk, we need to cut off the lid. To do this, use an ordinary kitchen knife.

Next, take a tablespoon and remove all the pulp from the pumpkin.

This stage can be safely called the most creative, since we need to take a knife and cut out our eyes, nose and mouth on a pumpkin. It should be separately recalled that during the cutting process you must be careful not to get hurt. The final look of the pumpkin depends on personal preferences and fantasies.

We put the pumpkin aside, since we do not need it yet and take a tin jar. Cut it in the middle.

Cut small legs on the sides of the lower half of the can. This is necessary so that the candle does not go out when it burns under the can.

Now open our pumpkin, light a candle and put in a pumpkin. We recommend using a flat and low candle, as the author does.

We put a blank from a tin can on top.

Finally, we pour glycerin into the lower recess of the tin can, which can be purchased at almost any pharmacy. According to the author of the video, glycerin is absolutely safe and not toxic, as many claim. It is even poured into a hookah to get more smoke.

After the glycerin has warmed up to a certain temperature, it will start to produce something like smoke or steam. The effect is especially mesmerizing in the dark, because smoke or steam is absolutely odorless, and does not indicate that it comes out of the holes on the pumpkin.
