  Step 1

  Draw a face on the pumpkin with dry erase marker. That way, if you mess up with the design you can still clean it off with wet sponge/towel.

• 

  Step 2

  Carve the top part carefully with a small knife.

• 

  Step 3

  Once you have your top part carved out, with a spoon or any utensil you can find, scoop out the seeds and meat.

• 

  Step 4

  You should have something like this.

• 

  Step 5

  Now carve out the face carefully.

• 

  Step 6

  Now with a wet sponge, clean the marks on the pumpkin. Carefully, scrape the skin off the pupils on the face.

• 

  Step 7

  You should have something like this.

  Note: I usually leave a matching mark on both the lid and the inner pumpkin so when I close the lid, I know which part is matching to fit them nicely.

• 

  Step 8

  Now for the hat, you'll need a piece of black foam or cardboard. Use the lid and the bottom of a CD container to trace two circles. Cut them out.

• 

  Step 9

  You will have a small and big circle.

• 

  Step 10

  Because the small circle is already big enough to act as the hat brim, I cut the big circle in half and fold into a cone shape.

• 

  Step 11

  Staple the edges or use a glue gun to secure them.

• 

  Step 12

  Cut a fitted hole in the center of the hat brim so that it will not fall out when it is on the pumpkin. Glue the cone to the brim.

• 

  Step 13

  Use a black coloured sharpie and touch up the staples and glue marks that you might have.

• 

  Step 14

  Use 4 pipe cleaners for the legs. Bend each one in half.Then bend the ends little bit to form the feet. The feet should be perpendicular to the legs. Arrange them and glue them in the center to secure.

• 

  Step 15

  Glue the pipe cleaners to the bottom of the pumpkin.

• 

  Step 16

  Put a battery powered flickering LED light inside the pumpkin.

  Note: you can also substitute with candle but it's safer this way. Light can be bought from dollar store.

• 

  Step 17

  Put the hat on with the hole of the brim into the stem.

• 

  Step 18

  Ta la! Now you have a pet pumpkin spider!
