Pumpkin Patch

Go Nuts!
Hollow out the pumpkin. Spray with black lacquer paint and let dry. Drill holes in the pumpkin to fit the size of nuts you choose to use. Insert the nuts in the drilled holes. Light your masterpiece with an LED Dot-it light, or battery operated LED micro lights.

Spider-kin
Hollow out the pumpkin. Spray with black lacquer paint and let dry. Draw and cut out eyes. Legs: Cut 8 pieces of 1" poly utility pipe into lengths suitable for the size of pumpkin. With caution, use a propane torch to warm the area of the pipe where it should bend to form the legs. The pipe will look slightly glossy when it is perfect for bending. Drill holes in the pumpkin and insert the legs.

Lacy Affair
