Nightfisher, thanks! I'm really pleased how the arms worked out. I just made a wide enough slit in the pumpkin with a large flat head screwdriver. Then slid in the part I left to secure them with, bent tight and they are really sturdy!
Slash .. I did make them. I wanted pumpkin monsters for my haunted pumpkin patch. They are super easy to do!! Basically padding wire with twisted paper towels, then corpsing with gray walmart bags, dry brushing on brown, moss green and gray in layers. I'll put up some pics for you later on tonight of how I did them.
