You'll need
Directions
- Apply a full coat of black spray paint to each of the three pumpkins, ensuring complete coverage. Allow the coating to dry thoroughly before moving to the next stage.
- On the pumpkin intended for the top of the stack, sketch a large letter B. On the two lower pumpkins, draw the letter O.
- Style the letter B with decorative curls at the ends and allow some of the paint to drip down for a spooky effect.
- Inside each of the O shapes, draw a spiral circle to add an extra layer of visual interest.
- Within the O shapes, sketch a spider web pattern.
- Create the web by drawing a wide sideways V, adding a vertical line down the center, and then connecting the V's arms with horizontal paint strokes at two points.
- Finish the design by adding a spider. You can form the spider's body using a circle or a child's thumbprint, then add eight small legs.
