Our Little Spider Pumpkin


My youngest and I went to my girlfriend's house last week and she had a little pumpkin decorated as a spider that she made with her son. My son told me then and there that he wanted to make one too. I asked her about it and she said that it was a craft kit that she got for like $10. $10 for a spider pumpkin? I was quickly rethinking making one with my son...
 
The next night, I had to run to Target to pick up a few things. I found black glittery Styrofoam pumpkins in the dollar section. Jackpot! I grabbed one to turn into a spider and two others, I'd find a use for them when I got home. When we got home, we stuck some pipe cleaners into the pumpkin for legs and glues googley eyes on him to make him a spider. It cost me $1 for the pumpkin, everything else I had in my stash. My son loves his little spider pumpkin and since it is made out of Styrofoam, it can be used year after year.
 
We turned another pumpkin into an Eyeball Monster Pumpkin and decided to leave the third one plain, at least for now.

  2. Love this idea! And I'm like you, I will find a way to make something without breaking the budget. Don't you just love it when things fall into place like that? Hope you took a photo of your son w/ it .

    1. I do love when things fall into place like that! I did not take a picture of my little guy with it, I will have to do that before I put it away!
