Directions 1. Spray-paint the pumpkin black. Let dry about 1 hour.

2. Position pumpkin on its side, with the preferred “front” facing up to prevent glue from dripping. Draw a cobweb design with white glue, squeezing gently (the glue will spread).

3. Gently shake silver glitter onto the glue. Let dry completely.
