How to Make a Pom-Pom Spider

 This Instructable will show you how to make these cute spiders that I made last year out of jingle bells, pipe cleaners, googly eyes and a pom-pom.  You may also use a giant googly eye if you prefer, instead of the pom-pom.  I used these as a craft last year where I work, and I think the kids liked them pretty well.   
   

Step 1 Steps 1, 2, and 3.

Step #1.  All you have to do is cut 2 pipe cleaners in half.  You will have 4 pieces.

Step #2.  You make a loop in the middle of one of the pipe cleaner halves, and twist. 

Step #3.  Add a bell, and twist once more.  Center bell head, and adjust first set of legs.

Thank you!  I was originally going to do the back part of the spider with the bell, but it ended up being too small.  You could use a large jingle bell for the back part, though, and a small one for the head.  Then you could put one on  your christmas tree.  I think there is a "legend"?, (Fairy tale?) about a christmas spider...     Thanks again for your comment.   :)

Cute, neat idea to use a bell for the head!
