I am always drawn to those cute little pumpkins that are everywhere during this season. They are so little. They are so cute!
I buy them and take them home. And they sit in a bowl on my kitchen counter until they rot away. Not cool!

Supplies Needed For This Spider Web Pumpkin Craft
- Small Pumpkins
- Parchment Paper
- Led Tea Candles
- Pencil

Directions To Make A Pumpkin Spider Web

Step 1
Cut the top off the little pumpkin.
Step 2
Scoop out the pumpkin guts.
Step 3
On a piece of parchment paper, trace around the top of the little pumpkin with a pencil to create a guide.
Step 4
Using a glue gun, create lines across the circle – start by creating a line that cuts it in half.
Then quarters, then again in each of those segments so that you have 8 equally sized sections.
Start on the outside and swag between the lines you just created just inside the circle and then again further into the circle.
Step 5
Let it cool and then peel it from the parchment paper.
Step 6
It should be just the right size to fit across the open pumpkin top. Once you’re sure it fits take it back off.

Step 7
Add a battery-powered faux candle and the web and you have a sparkling spider web jack-o-lantern!

Beautiful idea, but if you put a candle or some sort of lightning, then I think it will look more glamorous.
Yes, there is a LED candle inside. It looks great at night.
I love this! So creative! We also have a basket of mini pumpkins that will rot if I don’t do something with them soon! My boys LOVE playing with the battery powered candles too – they will love this!
Aren’t those battery-powered candles THE best?? Also, my boys can’t keep their hands off the glue webs. They love the way they feel.
Great idea! I also normally watch those small pumpkins sit until they rot, never knowing what to do with them.
ha! me too!
Love this idea! I’ll be sure to make them this week! Thank you for sharing.
