How to Make a Pumpkin Spider
Painted mini pumpkins and craft findings make a unique Spider decoration
You can make a spooky spider decoration from a miniature pumpkin. All you need are black paint, pipe cleaners and googly eyes.
Materials
White paint
Miniature pumpkins or round-flat gourds (Jack be Little)
Black chenille jumbo pipe cleaners
Googly eyes or white felt and black map pins
Supplies
Paint brush
Drill or large nail and hammer to punch holes for legs
Rubber or latex gloves to keep hands clean
Newspapers or drop cloths
Painters mask or respirator if using spray paint
Directions
Protect work surface with newspapers or drop cloths.
Drill 8 small holes in a ring around the sides and back of the pumpkin top - leave space in front for face. These will be where you insert chenille pipe cleaners for the spider legs.
Working outdoors or in a well-ventilated area,
paint the pumpkins totally black with glossy acrylic or spray paint. (Use a respirator mask if using spray paint.)
When paint is dry, paint two white eye circles for outer eyes and one circle for a mouth to create the spider face. Allow to dry, then stick black map pins into the eye shapes or add a black paint dot to the center bottom of each eye shape.
Bend each chenille pipe cleaner about 1/3 of the way down to form a "knee" in each spider leg. Insert a pipe cleaner leg into each hole and arrange or trim legs as needed.

Spooky Mummy Head Candy Dishes
Recycle water bottles and strips of muslin or gauze into Halloween decorations
It's easy to make candy dishes that look like mummy heads. All you need are small plastic containers you've saved and washed - the best sizes are the plastic cups and small tubs that hold yogurt, cottage cheese, margarine or even a large water or soft drink bottle.If you're using soft drink or water bottles, measure up about 6 inches and cut the bottle to remove the top section. Trim other types of reused containers so they are a little taller than wider in shape.
Mummy Face Form
Glue a cotton ball or two about half way up on one side to form a nose, and glue on buttons or craft-store googly eyes for the mummy's eyes.
Make the Mummy Bandages
Tear clean white cotton sheet scraps or muslin pieces into 2-inch wide strips, or use cheesecloth or gauze cut into strips. Wind the fabric strips around the outside of the container, covering all surface areas and the cotton ball nose shape. Leave the eyes exposed, peeking out from the "bandages".
