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

Step 1: Cut the Foam Ball in Two

Use the line on the foam ball as a guide to split it into two identical halves.

Step 2: 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.

Step 3: Glue the Two Halves

• Slice a small flat surface on both half spheres.
• Hot glue the half spheres on that flat surface.

Step 4: 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)

Step 5: 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.

Step 6: 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.

Step 7: All Done!

And we're done!
