You need to make these!!!

Pumpkin Bats & Spiders

So you know how they say that desperation is the mother of all great invention? Well, they do say that, and from my desperation springs a great creation, invention, cutest lil thing you ever did see. And so I tell you, you need to make these! Pumpkin Spiders and Pumpkin Bats... hee hee!!!

Pumpkin Bats/Spiders:

Supplies needed:

-Fishing Lure

-Scissors

-Drill, and SUPER skinny (thats a technical term, try to keep up) drill bit

-Extra large pack of black Pipe Cleaners

-Small (baseball sized) pumpkins

-Some time

Step 1:

Drill a single hole about half way up the pumpkin stem

Step 2:

Drill two holes on either side of the stem at about 45 degree angles into the pumpkin.

Step 3:

Drill two more holes on either side of the center point at the bottom of the pumpkin
Step 4:
Combine 3 pipe cleaners by twisting them together to form one, thick(er) pipe cleaner. You will need two of these thicker cleaners (attached one to the other, end to end) to form each wing.
Step 5:
Free form the wings into a simple bat-wing shape (you can do it, come on now!), think of a stretched out letter M, attached at one leg to an upside down and equally stretched out letter V.
Step 6:
Push free end of 'the letter V' into one of the holes that you drilled into the top of the pumpkin- push the free end of 'the letter M' into the corresponding hole that you drilled at the bottom. Repeat steps 4-6 to complete the second wing on the other side.
Step 7:
Thread fishing lure through the hole that you drilled in the pumpkin's stem, tie and hang from a hook secured overhead.
Step 8:
For spiders, use larger green pumpkins and instead of drilling holes in the stem and bottom, drill
two sets of four holes on the top at either side of the stem and insert pipe cleaners.
Step 9:
When neighbors ask you where you got this adorable idea, tell them, 'I don't know, sometimes these sorts of creative things just... come to me."
Step 10:
THATS IT, now enjoy!!!
