1. The Mummy Wrapped Pumpkin

Use cheesecloth cut into thin strips. Apply fabric stiffener to cheesecloth and apply strips to pumpkin, leaving the top and bottom of the pumpkin uncovered. Let dry. Hot-glue eyes to pumpkin. Using additional cheesecloth strips cover each eye diagonally so a little of each eye peeks out. Let dry. Carve out a small mouth from the layers of cheesecloth using a crafts knife and paint the inside of the mouth black or use glow in the dark paint.

2. Spider Stencil Pumpkin

This pumpkin is easy to make- just grab some paints and a few spooky stencils and have some fun. Throw on some glitter, feathers, or cool sequins and you have a designer DIY Halloween Pumpkin Ideas.
