PUMPKINS & POM POM SPIDER

Hi friends,

We’ve got a simple craft with colorful pumpkins and fuzzy pom pom spiders.

Micah and I colored small pumpkins and gourds for our background, then added a large black fuzzy spider in the foreground. Instead of bent legs, we squiggled them for the appearance of a spider in motion. Take a look at our pumpkin & pom pom spider below.
