Fold each pipe cleaner in half and cut them.

Line them up in your fingers and you will have 4 pieces.

Twist the 4 pieces together from the middle and separate each part. You will now have 8 spider legs.

Put the thread on the needle and make a knot. Pass the needle in the higher part of the spider's body and pull it half way. Pass the needle between the two threads to secure it and make a knot.

Cut the thread depending on the height you want your spider to hang down.

Hang Them

Use some scotch tape to hang the spiders from different places. I put them in a lamp and they looked great. They move around a lot and that adds funk to them.

Happy Halloween!
