Spiderman Pumpkin

I’ve always loved coming up with cute pumpkin ideas for Halloween, and this Spiderman pumpkin might be one of the coolest yet. Like my Emoji Pumpkins, it’s super simple, budget-friendly, and a great way to get the kids involved in decorating without the carving mess.

This pumpkin is perfect for little Marvel fans or anyone wanting something different from the usual jack-o’-lantern. The best part is that it doesn’t take much skill. Once the base is painted, the web is as easy as tracing with a marker. Use a foam pumpkin and you’ll have fun Halloween decor that you can reuse year after year.

Supplies

An orange foam pumpkin, a black Sharpie marker, and three bottles of acrylic paint (red, black, white) on a white wooden surface.
  • Orange craft pumpkin – I get mine from Dollar Tree (you can also find them on Amazon but you’ll pay more)
  • Red acrylic paint
  • Black acrylic paint
  • White acrylic paint
  • Black permanent marker
  • Paintbrushes

*Check the tutorial card below for quick Amazon links to all the supplies.

Tips & Tricks

  • Use a foam pumpkin: They’re light, easy to paint, and you can reuse them every year.
  • Buy your pumpkin early: I get mine at Dollar Tree and they seem to sell out earlier every year. Don’t wait until Halloween week or you may be out of luck (and grab a few extras to stock up for next year).
  • Pencil first: If you’re nervous about freehanding the eyes or web, lightly sketch your design before painting.
  • Party fun: Prepaint the pumpkins red for a party, then let kids decorate their own Spiderman faces with markers.

Equipment

Materials
 

Instructions

  • Start by painting your pumpkin red. You may need 2-3 coats but you should give it about 20 minutes in between each coat before adding more.
    A paintbrush, red paint on a paper plate, a bottle of red paint, and a pumpkin painted red are arranged on a white surface.
  • Draw the eyes. I suggest you start with a pencil. I did it with the marker but made a couple mistakes that I had to cover up. It wasn’t hard but I did find myself wishing I’d started with a pencil! Fill in the middle of the eye with white paint.

  • Fill in the outer part of the eye with black paint.

  • Once the black paint is dry, start drawing the "web" on Spiderman’s head with the black marker.

  • Continue to add more lines going towards the back of the head, connecting them together with smaller lines.

  • Keep adding to the spiderweb until you reach the back of the pumpkin and voila, you now have your very own superhero pumpkin!
