Boo, Eek, Scare - Stacking Pumpkins

BOO, EEK, SCARE!

Aren't stacking pumpkins so cute?

I decided to make my own...and then...make them SPOOKEY!





The How To is super simple!

You Will Need:
  • (3) Foam Pumpkins (Funkins or artificial carving pumpkins) in varying sizes
  • Knife (kitchen knife will work)
  • Vinyl Letters or Scrapbook Letter Stickers
  • Pins with large plastic heads
  • Plastic Spiders
  • Hot Glue (low temp)
  • Spooky tattered netting or artificial webs

Directions:
  1. Cut a small hole in the bottom of the smallest two pumpkins with a knife.
  2. Add vinyl or scrapbook lettering to each pumpkin.
  3. Stack pumpkins by putting the hole over the stem on the next larger pumpkin.
  4. Add pins (two at a time) around the pumpkins and using hot glue, secure spiders to the pins on the pumpkin
  5. Add netting, webs or other spook decorations around the pumpkins!
So simple!  So cute!  And they will last for YEARS (as opposed to real pumpkins!)

Happy Designing!
