Start by selecting a ripe pomelo. Carefully cut off the top to create a lid. Scoop out the flesh, leaving the white pith intact.
Create intricate patterns by carving different depths into the pomelo. Experiment with various shapes and sizes to bring your lantern to life.
Sketch your lantern design on the pomelo's surface. Use a sharp knife to carve out the design, following your outlines carefully.
Place a small LED light inside the carved pomelo. The light will illuminate the intricate patterns, creating a beautiful lantern for the Moon Festival.
Display your pomelo lantern outdoors or on a table. Enjoy the soft glow of the light as you celebrate the Moon Festival with family and friends.
Share your creative fruit carving masterpiece on social media and inspire others to make their own pomelo lanterns for this special occasion.
