Spooky Pumpkin Place Card Holders

It doesn’t take much to set a festive last-minute table for Halloween night. Spooky Pumpkin Place Card Holders can be made in no-time and are down right frightening! Little silver pumpkins covered in spider webs and creepy black spiders…guests are sure to get a scare when they sit down for dinner.

Supplies:

small white pumpkins
silver spray paint
faux spider webs
plastic spiders
paper place cards
sharpie
hot glue gun
small pumpkin carving knife

Let’s get started:

1. Spray paint white pumpkins silver and allow to dry completely.
2. Using a small pumpkin carving knife, carve a two inch horizontal slit across the top of each pumpkin to fit a place card.
3. Stretch a small amount of spider web over each pumpkin and attach at the bottom with a spot of hot glue.

4 & 5. Add a dot of hot glue to the top of each pumpkin and attach a spider.
6. Insert a place card into each slit and set the table!

I used simple black and white plates with silver details, faux-horns, and cut pomegranate to bring an eerie-chic look to my Halloween tabletop. Glasses of red wine in smoked glass coupes look naturally sinister! Are you entertaining this Halloween? How will you be setting your table?
