How To Make Giant Spiders



Here's one of the crafts that was featured in my column in The Irish Independent's Mother and Babies Magazine this month.

These giant spiders are sure way to scare away unwanted visitors this Halloween. This is a quick craft and you only need three things to make it which can be found in any art shop. You can make as many as you like and hang them with string in your window or place them in your garden to give people a fright when they least expect it.


What you need:
Colourful Pipe Cleaners
Mini Pom Poms
Googly eyes
Glue


Instructions:

  1. Take four long pipe cleaners of the same colour and hold them in your hand with the tops and ends all lined up the same
  2. Find the middle of the pip cleaners and twist it around twice to make the centre body of the spider.
  3. Take two pom poms and glue them onto the spider.
  4. Then take two googly eyes and glue them to the pom poms.


Who knew spiders could look so cute!!
