Step 3Making the legs
In this step we will make the Spidies legs.
You may need some help bending the coat hanger wire if it is a little stiff.
The leg shape all depends on the final look you are going for.
Will he be aggressive?
Do we need his front legs in the air?
We need an upside down V in the middle of each section to allow our egg carton to sit on top.
You will need to take two of the pieces and bend them to suit the middle 2 pairs of legs which will make a X.
Then takes the other two pieces and bend them to suit the front two legs and the rear two.
Like I said before the shape is up to you and it doesn't matter if they are a little uneven, it adds character.
Once you have bent the legs sections it is time to glue the legs together..
It may be best the to do one set at a time.

I wonder if black, fuzzy pipe cleaners would work as legs. They would look nice.
