3. To make the spider, cut four legs in each end of the black felt piece.  Cut the front legs shorter than the back legs.  Cut circles of orange felt large enough to wrap around each of the balls.  Firmly pull and stretch the felt around the ball working out the wrinkles as you go.  Glue the felt in place at the bottom of the ball.  Trim off the excess felt with scissors. Glue the head to the body being sure that the glued side of each ball is at the bottom of the spider.  Glue the legs to the bottom of the spider.  Glue the black beads in place for the eyes.

5. Cut a length of 4” green ribbon and glue it in a loop around the top of the wreath for the hanger/pumpkin stem.  This is a good place to hide the felt seam on the wreath.  Make a large bow from the ribbon and glue the green button to the center.  Glue the bow to the top of the wreath.  Glue the spider to the wreath.
