How to make a DIY Halloween banner

Step 1

To create the pumpkin, make a large pom pom with the orange yarn.

Step 2

When that’s made, attach half a green pipe cleaner to it using the two lengths of yarn that come from the securing knot at the centre of the pom pom.

Step 3

Wrap the pipe cleaner around a pencil to create a curly stalk. Do not trim the two lengths of yarn.

Step 4

For the body of the spider, make a black pom pom using the large pom pom maker. When you secure the centre, leave two lengths of yarn loose to attach to the garland later. For the spider’s legs, cut four black pipe cleaners in half. Place the eight lengths together and twist in the middle to join them together. To attach the legs to the body, take the two lengths of loose yarn and tie on the joined pipe cleaner legs.
