Make a pumpkin with a web shaped vine...

This pumpkin has a giant creepy crawler on top!
        One chilly, Fall evening, a spider decided to make our doll's white pumpkin it's home! The web shaped vine on this pumpkin is made of very sticky tape rolled out into long pieces of strong, tacky, tubing.

Supply List:

  • a Styrofoam pumpkin blank
  • a straight edge razor or X-Acto craft knife
  • masking tape
  • acrylic paints: browns, greens, black and white
  • a plastic spider
  • hot glue gun and hot glue
  • tacky white glue

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Paint the Styrofoam pumpkin blank with acrylic white paint. Let dry.
  2. Roll out long pieces of masking tape with the sticky side facing out. 
  3. Twist this tape around the stem of the pumpkin to make a more natural looking stem.
  4. Press the tape about the pumpkin in the shape of a web looking vine.
  5. Squeeze a little tacky glue into the areas where the vine webbing looks like it may not stick without additional glue. Let dry.
  6. Paint the web shaped vine in multiple shades of green and brown.
  7. Hot glue a plastic black spider on top of your garden decoration!
