Equipment

  • scissors or wire cutters
  • glue gun

Ingredients

  • 6-8 2" wooden circles
  • wooden stir sticks or popsicle sticks four per spider
  • spray paint black
  • jewelry bales
  • google eyes
  • paint pen white
  • twine black
  • wooden beads make sure the bead openings are big enough to go on the twine

Instructions

  • Use scissors or wire cutters to cut a wooden stick into four equal pieces. Glue the rounded edge to a piece with straight edges at an angle to create a leg. Repeat until you have four legs per spider (you’ll want 6-8 spiders per garland).
  • Glue four legs to the back of your wooden circle.
  • Spray paint your spiders black and allow paint to fully dry.
  • Glue jewelry bales onto the back of each spider above the head area.
  • Glue on your google eyes and draw on a smile with your paint pen.
  • Thread your beads and spiders onto your twine (make a knot where the spiders are so they don’t slide around) and you are ready to hang your garland!

Notes

TIP: Thread your spiders onto your twine backwards so that they are facing front when you tie a knot!
