Directions To Make A Pumpkin Spider Web

How to Make a Spider Web pumpkin craft by cutting off top of pumpkin and tracing it on parchment paper, scooping out the guts of the pumpkin, using the hot glue gun to trace around the pencil and make a web and putting it on top of the pumpkin.
Make a web using hot glue!

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.

  1. Beautiful idea, but if you put a candle or some sort of lightning, then I think it will look more glamorous.

  2. 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!

    1. 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.

  3. Great idea! I also normally watch those small pumpkins sit until they rot, never knowing what to do with them.
