Halloween Baby Shower Ideas for great pumpkins
Little Pumpkin: This fits great with, Halloween Baby Shower Ideas. Again there is so much you can do with this theme.
We love this idea that we found on creativecuts.com. Use two small pumpkins, draw a cute baby face on each one. Paint the faces with colors that compliment your palette.
Once paint is dry, carve a small hole for a month, and insert pacifier. Way to cute and easy!
Look for baking pans- mini or regular and mold pumpkins and
decorate. You can find or purchase cupcake liners and toppers to fit your theme
as well. Cookie cutters in the shape of your theme are also a great option.
Empty the contents of small, medium and large pumpkins, cut
1/4 of the top section off (to make the shape of a bowl), line pumpkin well
with strong foil. Serve dry foods such as, Halloween candy. Hershey Kiss’s, and
other wrapped candy’s work well.
Carve simple designs into pumpkins. Circles, Stars, or even little Diapers. Of course, a tea light or small candle will add the finishing touch.

Purchase two dozen white carnations. Trim stems at an angle while they are under cool water. Fill glass jars or containers with water and several drops of food coloring.

Creative Halloween Baby Shower Ideas
This little spider makes the perfect party favor for any Halloween Baby Shower. Your table will look very festive when these little spiders are used as napkin rings. Place a little magnet on the back and you have a cute party favor for your guests to take home and hang on their refrigerator. They do take a bit of time to make, but they are not hard to do!
Here’s what you will need
- Hot glue gun
- Magnetic strip or small magnet
- Glue dots (optional)
- Scissors
- Needle and thread
- Embellishments for eyes and pink bow (optional)
- 1/2 inch Satin ribbon
- 7/8 inch Fabric ribbon (grosgrain is best) in your choice of color.
- (10-15) ¼ inch wooden dowel (can be purchased at Micheal’s)
- Wooden clothes pins (DO NOT USE PLASTIC)
- Flat baking sheet-(covered with foil is optional)
How to curl the ribbon:
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
- Measure and cut 20 inches of 7/8 inch grosgrain ribbon.
- Heat seal the ends of the ribbon to prevent fraying. Heat sealing can be done with a lighter or other small flame. If you are not sure how to do it, use the search box on this page to get instructions.
1. Wet ribbon with water, squeeze out excess. Wrap damp ribbon around the length of wooden dowel. If you want a tight curl, be sure the ribbon touches- for a loose curl, use small spacing between ribbon. (see picture below). A tight curl is recommended for the spider project.
2. Secure both ribbon ends with wooden clothes pins or other clamp that is heat resistant (again NO plastic). Set on baking sheet and continue to wrap the rest of the wooden dowels.
3.Once you have wrapped several dowels with secured ribbon with a clamp or clothes pin, place them in the preheated oven
4. After 25-30 minutes, remove ribbon from oven and allow it to cool and dry.
5. Gently slip the ribbon off the dowel. Find the center and cut ribbon in half. Do this for each piece.
6. The spider is made with eight legs ( 4 on each side). Find the center (again) on a piece of ribbon you just cut. Pierce the center with a needle and thread. Stack 3 more pieces on top of the first and repeat the process of running a needle and thread through. Create 3 or 4 loose stitches, them tie the stitch off.
7. The center stitch should be loose enough to fan the legs out and give your spider a little shape. Heat seal the ends of each leg.
8. To make the body of the spider, use 1/2 wide satin ribbon Measure 4 inches of length, cut and heat seal the ends to prevent fraying. Use a bead of hot glue to anchor one end of the satin ribbon into the center of the legs. Loosely wrap the ribbon around it self until you have formed a small circle or ring, secure loose end with hot glue.
9. Secure a magnet on the back side of the spider with hot glue. Use glue dots or doubled sided tape (do not use permanent adhesives) to add a ribbon that will be used to tie around the napkin. Guests should be able to remove the ribbon to access the magnet underneath.
10. Use hot glue to add eyes, bow, or any other embellishment desired.
