En Venezuela festejar **Halloween** entre los niรฑos es algo bastante nuevo (las fiestas para adultos son tema aparte), siendo un paรญs con alta influencia religiosa (catรณlica, cristiana o evangรฉlica, entre muchas otras de principios bastante similares) **los padres procuran activamente que los niรฑos no se involucren** en las dinรกmicas comunitarias que se organizan para que los pequeรฑos de la casa puedan salir a pedir _"dulce o truco"._
Sin embargo este aรฑo, al menos en la zona donde vivo actualmente, eso se ha flexibilizado un poco y al tratarse de residencias privadas, **y ante todo garantizando la seguridad de los niรฑos,** algunos vecinos nos organizamos para que el 31 de Octubre en las casas que quisiรฉramos participar, tuviรฉramos dulces para que todos los niรฑos llenaran sus cestas.
Ah, **ยฟpero donde consigues cestas con tema de Halloween en un paรญs que no lo celebra formalmente?.** Algunas tiendas especializadas venden alternativas de calabazas plรกstico (bastante pequeรฑas), pero la realidad es que no hay mucho de donde escoger, y por eso decidรญ elaborar yo misma una serie de canastas con tema de **Halloween**, _ยกesta es la primera parte! ๐

In Venezuela celebrating **Halloween** among children is something quite new (parties for adults are a separate issue), being a country with a high religious influence (Catholic, Christian or Evangelical, among many others with similar principles) **parents actively try to keep children from getting involved** in the community dynamics that are organized so that the little ones of the house can go out _trick-or-treating._
However this year, at least in the area where I currently live, that has become a little more flexible and since these are private residences, **and above all guaranteeing the safety of the children,** some of us neighbors organized so that on October 31 in the houses that we wanted to participate, we would have candy for all the children to fill their baskets.
Ah, **but where do you get Halloween-themed baskets in a country that doesn't formally celebrate Halloween?** Some specialty stores sell plastic pumpkin alternatives (quite small), but the reality is that there's not much to choose from, and so I decided to make a series of **Halloween** themed baskets myself, _this is part one! ๐

<sub>โฆ I recommend using recycled cardboard from cereal boxes, pasta boxes and cake mix boxes. It is a cardboard easy to handle with school scissors, but strong enough โฆ</sub></center>
<center>https://i.postimg.cc/NM2tdz0D/SEPARADOR-8.png</center>
<div class="text-justify">
๐ธ Para iniciar, necesitaras una imagen guรญa en caso prefieras una imagen predeterminada, antes que diseรฑar tu mismo el modelo de la calabaza. Yo utilise [este bonito diseรฑo](https://www.flaticon.es/icono-gratis/calabaza_8530359?term=fiesta+de+halloween&page=1&position=88&origin=tag&related_id=8530359) de **FlatIcon,** lo replique en una hoja de papel corriente, y luego transferรญ la silueta a una pieza de carton reciclado.
</div>
<div class="text-justify">
> ๐น To start, you will need a guide image in case you prefer a default image, rather than designing the pumpkin model yourself. I used [this nice design](https://www.flaticon.es/icono-gratis/calabaza_8530359?term=fiesta+of+halloween&page=1&position=88&origin=tag&related_id=8530359) from **FlatIcon,** replicated it on a sheet of plain paper, and then transferred the silhouette to a piece of recycled cardboard.
</div>
<center>https://i.postimg.cc/NM2tdz0D/SEPARADOR-8.png</center>
<center>
<sub>โฆ You will replicate only the main face of the pumpkin and the inside of the eyes and mouth, because the first piece will be lined with black crepe paper to simulate the lines of the drawing โฆ</sub></center>
<center>https://i.postimg.cc/NM2tdz0D/SEPARADOR-8.png</center>
<div class="text-justify">
๐ธ El segundo paso es dividir todas las partes del patron de papel, **y replicar cada una por separado en nuevas piezas de cartรณn,** preferiblemente del mismo tono o color. Es importante **recortar con cuidado** para que los bordes sean lo mas limpios posible. **Tomate tu tiempo ๐**
</div>
<div class="text-justify">
> ๐น The second step is to divide all the parts of the paper pattern, **and replicate each one separately on new pieces of cardboard,** preferably of the same tone or color. It is important to **cut carefully** so that the edges are as clean as possible. **Take your time ๐**
</div>
<center>https://i.postimg.cc/NM2tdz0D/SEPARADOR-8.png</center>
<center>
<sub>โฆ It seems difficult but it is not, if you notice that the material is a little mistreated by twisting it with the scissors to reach the smallest details, place the piece of cardboard on a firm and smooth surface, and rub the handle of the scissors on the corrugated parts, this will smooth them โฆ</sub></center>
<center>https://i.postimg.cc/NM2tdz0D/SEPARADOR-8.png</center>
<div class="text-justify">
๐ธ Repetirรกs este proceso tantas veces como cantidad de cestas quieras elaborar. **Seran 2 siluetas completas para el cuerpo de la canasta, 1 cara, 2 fondos de ojo y 1 interior de boca por cada unidad.**
</div>
<div class="text-justify">
> ๐น Repeat this process as many times as the number of baskets you want to make. **There will be 2 complete silhouettes for the body of the basket, 1 face, 2 eye bottoms and 1 inside of mouth for each unit.**
</div>
<center>https://i.postimg.cc/NM2tdz0D/SEPARADOR-8.png</center>
<center>
<sub>โฆ The length of the cardboard strip of the basket body is entirely up to you, if you want it to be halfway up the figure, that's fine, if you want it a little higher, that's fine too! โฆ</sub></center>
<center>https://i.postimg.cc/NM2tdz0D/SEPARADOR-8.png</center>
<div class="text-justify">
๐ธ Para formar **el cuerpo de la cesta,** recortaras una tira de cartulina o el mismo carton de reciclaje, **que mida de 8 a 10 centรญmetros de ancho.** Recuerda dejar un **extra de 2 centรญmetros** que serรกn las pestaรฑas que recortaras en sus laterales para pegar ambas caras de la calabaza.
</div>
<div class="text-justify">
> ๐น To form **the body of the basket,** you will cut a strip of cardboard or the same recycled cardboard, **measuring 8 to 10 centimeters wide** Remember to leave an **extra 2 centimeters** that will be the tabs that you will cut on the sides to glue both sides of the pumpkin.
</div>
<center>https://i.postimg.cc/NM2tdz0D/SEPARADOR-8.png</center>
<center>
<sub>โฆ Be careful that the outer side of the baskets is the clean part of the cardboard; leave the part with printing or images on the inside because those figures can be seen through the paper with which we will line the beautiful part of the baskets, and that takes away a lot of beauty to the result. That is why they should be as shown in the pictures โฆ</sub></center>
<center>https://i.postimg.cc/NM2tdz0D/SEPARADOR-8.png</center>
<div class="text-justify">
๐ธ Recomiendo dejar **reposar** las canastas al menos **30 o 40 minutos** para que el pegamento escolar seque un poco, pero si puedes esperar **al menos 1 hora** seria excelente antes de seguir trabajando.
</div>
<div class="text-justify">
> ๐น I recommend letting the baskets **rest** for at least **30 to 40 minutes** for the school glue to dry a bit, but if you can wait **at least 1 hour** that would be excellent before continuing to work.
</div>
<center>https://i.postimg.cc/NM2tdz0D/SEPARADOR-8.png</center>

<sub>โฆ Here you can see the internal flanges that were used to join the sides of the basket on the inside โฆ</sub></center>
<center>https://i.postimg.cc/NM2tdz0D/SEPARADOR-8.png</center>
<div class="text-justify">
๐ธ Transcurrido ese tiempo, notarรกs que el resultado se siente bastante sรณlido y resistente. **ยฟPor quรฉ no utilizar silicon frรญo o silicona caliente?,** al ser una silueta bastante simple, el pegamento escolar o de madera en poca cantidad es suficiente, en cambio, el silicon frรญo al secar se retrae y corres el riesgo de desfigurar la canasta, y el silicon caliente puede agregar grosor o irregularidades en sus bordes.
</div>
<div class="text-justify">
> ๐น After that time, you will notice that the result feels quite solid and resistant. **Why not use cold silicone or hot silicone?** Since the silhouette is quite simple, school glue or wood glue in small quantities is enough, on the other hand, cold silicone dries and retracts and you run the risk of disfiguring the basket, and hot silicone can add thickness or irregularities in its edges.
</div>
<center>https://i.postimg.cc/NM2tdz0D/SEPARADOR-8.png</center>
<center>
<sub>โฆ If you notice any mistakes, take the paper patterns and retrace with pencil on the figures you have ready, do not discard them, first check if you can correct them โฆ</sub></center>
<center>https://i.postimg.cc/NM2tdz0D/SEPARADOR-8.png</center>
<div class="text-justify">
๐ธ En esta etapa, debes comprobar que todas las piezas de carton del rostro coincidan correctamente.

๐ธ **ยกPegar la parte frontal del rostro es super satisfactorio!,** mira que resultado tan bonito ๐ el efecto es bastante llamativo y diferente, y el fondo de color obscuro hace la funciรณn de lรญneas del dibujo, es muy gracioso.

<div class="text-justify">

<div class="text-justify">
๐ธ Para forrar los laterales de las cestas, recomiendo utilizar papelillo cortado como el que se utiliza para forrar piรฑatas, le darรก un **efecto festivo a cada canasta, un detalle muy feliz y adecuado porque es un item destinado a niรฑos.** Color verde manzana o un verde claro estarรก bien, evita el verde oscuro.
