This is a very simple (but effective) Jack O' Lantern that provides a good result for minimal time/effort. It also makes good use of the paper. In addition, it has a stand (which can be enhanced with an alligator clip for greater stability).

This is an excellent model for gifting, and as an office decoration.

  • Step 21 (stem 2nd vertex) in my diagrams was difficult to diagram and is a little bit tricky to explain; but once it is demonstrated, it's actually not so difficult.
Supplies

Uses 6" kami, provided in the Survival Kit. No supplies needed; but a folding board might prove handy.

Bibliography

I created diagrams (via PDF) which include a reference to the original. PDF file is attached below.
