Pumpkin Jack-o'-Lantern Halloween String Art Kit by Abris Art ABC-024

Create a spooky-cute jack-o'-lantern with Pumpkin, a string art kit by Abris Art — a grinning orange pumpkin in a purple witch's hat, with a white spiderweb in the corner and a little spider dangling on its thread, all on a dark wooden board. Worked in 6 colours of thread.

A little crafter's folklore: jack-o'-lanterns come from an old Irish tale of Stingy Jack, who tricked the devil and was left to wander with only a carved lantern to light his way — so people carved faces to scare away wandering spirits. And a spider in the house, country lore says, means money's coming. Crafters say this pumpkin guards the door all October.

Why this kit: if you love Halloween decorating, this is a fun, easy make — tap in the nails and wind the thread, and a pumpkin appears in an afternoon. It's a great project to share with older kids. A playful gift for Halloween fans.

Kit includes: a 19×29 cm wooden board, nails, 6 colours of thread (87 m) on an organizer, decorative elements, and instructions with a pattern.

Fix the pattern to the board, hammer the nails along the outlines, then wind each colour of thread from nail to nail to fill the pumpkin, hat and web.

Finished size: 19×29 cm (7.48×11.42 in). Fun Halloween decor for a mantel, shelf or front hall.
