Introduction
Get the kids involved with this carve-free, glam pumpkin idea. All you need are thumbtacks, a printable pattern or pen.
Step 1
Draw Desired Pattern
Draw your desired pattern on the pumpkin with a pen, or tape a printable pattern to the pumpkin.
Step 2
Insert Thumbtacks
Poke holes over the pen marks or pattern with a small screwdriver if using rivets, making sure the holes are close enough so the rivets slightly overlap. Insert thumbtacks or rivets. If you're doing a spiderweb pattern, start with a cross (Image 1), followed by an X (Image 2), then finish the rest of the pattern (Image 3).
