Spider Craft Materials Needed:

• Pom Poms
• Scissors
• Glue
• Pipe Cleaners
• Googly Eyes
• Black Yarn or Black Thread

Spider Craft Tutorial

First off, cut strips of your yarn or thread in various lengths.

Then, wrap and tie your yarn or black thread around your pom poms.

The start of your spider friends should look something like this.

Next, measure and cut equal length pipe cleaners. We chose orange, but purple, red, white, green, blue, well any color would look great!

Then glue them on to the bottom of your pom poms

After that, glue one some cute googly eyes.

Finally, tie your fun new spider craft friends on to either a hanger or branch you found in the yard!

This is what your spider friends should look like when they are done. What color legs did you and your little ones choose?

When you have finished, be sure to share your creation on Simple Mom Project’s Facebook Page and follow me on Pinterest!
