Carve the bottom of the middle pumpkin in the stack. This way stack on top of each other and the top one will have an opening for the flashlight.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGAAWXVo1PSu2HjOQs8sZK2DlysDIj3OmEXHhyGFxh3YFU91N73muX0q2g25QWxZTzsR07cU771Kh8aMCk0jDphllwoX0cuD46miJ6P0PkSBPgpGqUil-EOFgIr-VvjIOXjGXf5F5h0N-c/s400/Halloween-Pumpkin-Topiary-With-Spiders-2012-Ideas-from-HGTV.jpg" width="400" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVzEI3lrEq7OkAxA8Enrah1lXICRZn_ZOLfow4cb7384eSOppOpzcptA9uKxx3y3lcASSsj_R7v6XDyEQxBZYpujzPlmcosbjfEcJWm4w3qGWLt5V96qpfIJnzRKDXuzie-_r40EqhBGAc/s400/Halloween-Pumpkin-Topiary-With-Spiders-2012-Ideas-from-HGTV-2.jpg" width="400" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF9f2h_n1RNBS69GDbBZV3dmvEGE7y2aDsQnxjSY7Z_6vNTMuma1_ADKrtAoy_34YoFtVLdtbeagR8MMK50NEJ9twfO74pszkSds_C4sls2Hi1ahUhPY8Bq80BjoiMepWQWnWaFa60P5Zy/s400/Halloween-Pumpkin-Topiary-With-Spiders-2012-Ideas-from-HGTV-3.jpg" width="400" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">Insert Pins</span></h2><div style="text-align: center;">Push the black sewing pins into the pumpkins in a random pattern. Leave half of the pin sticking out. Use about 15 pins per pumpkin.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmNPEbKbihuRzHeDId2I4rp-K26QJNjwWzph1_jGJ1FJ7h4i1Y8yzuf2yirLhHvoKc7AGXZKcPnuOKXN8c_lCiqX6zW07Snc93wGfqp-cfNpFT_-e1WxhhwtktB13Y5KeS5ZC5XKns81oT/s400/Halloween-Pumpkin-Topiary-With-Spiders-2012-Ideas-from-HGTV-4.jpg" width="400" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">Create the Spider's Web</span></h2><div style="text-align: center;">Starting at the bottom, wrap the yarn around one of the pins then bring it to the next pin, wrap it around and repeat. Keep weaving the yarn back and forth around the pins until you have one big web. If necessary, use the glue gun on the yarn to keep it from moving.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik5kvgs8bhZsebsHngHD1PuJHkGrfc-nD5WOUPkxCxPUT0fJu9NhWBu4_HDhihJpNXWbhQETCW5fQzpBPE_CSMlL4tm1v3c-PG5XYy5kUyWYP_gIdrJOvBQ5TXJ4SEmrf3LR5aV1qxahyN/s400/Halloween-Pumpkin-Topiary-With-Spiders-2012-Ideas-from-HGTV-5.jpg" width="400" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">Add Spiders</span></h2><div style="text-align: center;">Tie or glue small strands of yarn to several of the spiders. Tie the strands to the webbing so the spiders will hang down. Then glue some spiders directly to the webbing. Add several to the top to make it look like they are escaping. Place a few on the floor and make them look like they are about to scatter.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTPbrbOQ9ynFw6ieRdy-w471rXd9xDyaMnC81vn5vwIis5PZl_tQNTKS0DqmwxS-b7DS1z_PxtEEqPXQhF4NODVfgEbPZNX3-6G55tPjZOi1LWhTKEvZdz6ri3BPn0Bcl6PEY5NeTUCraS/s400/Halloween-Pumpkin-Topiary-With-Spiders-2012-Ideas-from-HGTV-6.jpg" width="400" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">Include Mama Spider</span></h2><div style="text-align: center;">Insert a flashlight into the top pumpkin to illuminate the large spider. Then place the spider as if she's escaping, too (again, be careful of the pins).</div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>
