No-Carve Spider Pumpkin

" If you like creepy crawlies at Halloween, try this. I'm gonna show you how you can make your own itsy bitsy spiders out of mini pumpkins and a wire coat hanger. Now, I've already cut an old wire coat hanger into eight individual pieces that are all the same size. Mine are about 5 inches long and it's cute to make them the same length because you don't want a lopsided spider. Now, these are gonna be the legs. So, what you're gonna do is your gonna take a needle-nose pliers and you're gonna have to use your strength here and make a bend into one side of your wire. Alright. Now, that is gonna be the part that goes into the body of the spider and then come to the other area of the other end here and then bend and make a foot. It's really good to use as sturdy wire because if it's too flimsy, it's just not gonna hold up the weight of the pumpkin. So, those are my legs and I'm gonna set those aside and concentrate on the face, and what I have is some stiff felt with some adhesive on the back and this is great because you don't have to get out the hot glue gun to make this stick on to your pumpkin and its nice to use the stiff felt because then you can cut out smaller shapes and it's just easier to stick on your pumpkin. So, I'm gonna create some fangs, and I've got some white triangles and so I'm just going to go down to were I would think I wanna put my mouth and just stick the felt right there, and just continue with my other fang and position it with your second fang. Alright! Now, it's time for the mouth and what I've done is I've taken some black felt, and I cut out a little smiley face, and you're just going to overlap your fangs like that. There! Alright, and now, I have found some cat eyes at my local craft store and I'm just gonna take these fun little eyes and stick them into my pumpkin. Apply a little bit of pressure to get it started. Twist the eye like that. Take your other eye. Like that! And it looks kinda fun and silly. Now, its time to put some legs on our friend here and we're gonna take some of our bent coat hangers and just stick them right into the sides of the pumpkin, and you're gonna wanna make sure you kinda space them accordingly though because you need to be able to put four legs on each side of your eight-legged spider. Now, you can give these spiders all kinds of fun personality. All you gotta do is just change the eyes, shape of the mouth, maybe not add fangs, maybe add fangs. You just have a lot of fun. Alright! So, now I have my eight legs in place and as you can see, my little spider is resting here on the table top. Now, if you want you could put the wire coat hangers in a little bit lower on your pumpkin and then they'll actually stand up for you. Now, just cast a web on your windowsill and you can create some eight-legged friends for Halloween."
