Easy Halloween Spiders
Adorable, freaky, and quick to make.
Parts:
- 12 inch long Pipe Cleaners
- 1.4 inch diameter Foam Balls
- Googly Eyes
Tools:
- Box Cutter
- Scissors
- Hot Glue Gun
- Ruler
- Matte Black quick dry spray paint
Cut the Foam Ball in Two
Use the line on the foam ball as a guide to split it into two identical halves.
Paint
Paint the tops. No need to paint the bottoms. Spray as downward as possible (about 45 degrees) to minimize the foam pieces from getting blown away.
Glue the Two Halves
- Slice a small flat surface on both half spheres.
- Hot glue the half spheres on that flat surface.
Prepare for Glueing
- Cut a cardboard disc slightly smaller than the half sphere.
- Align one end of four pipe cleaners.
- Find the middle of the pipe cleaners (not critical, approximate is fine)
Glue the Legs
- I used blue tape to show the middle, but you could just use your finger to mark where the middle is.
- Hot glue the legs onto the bottom of one of the half spheres.
- Use the cardboard disc to press hot glue and the legs together.
Bend the Legs
- Hot glue the eyes to the same half where we glued the legs onto.
- Bend all the legs halfway (3 inches in).
- Bend up by the body.
- Spread out the legs also near the body.
All Done!
And we're done!
