  • Picture of the items needed to make a Halloween spider

    Step 1

    We bought some stripey pipe-cleaners and we're using a red lolly for the spiders body. You can use any colour lolly you fancy, but we think the larger ones look best!

  • Bending the pipe cleaner in half

    Step 2

    This is really easy. All you need to do is fold the pipe cleaner in half and then cut it into two.

  • Cut the pipe cleaner to equal length

    Step 3

    We need to do this for the other pipe cleaners, so we have cut each pipe cleaner into two so we now have four.

  • Wrap the pipe cleaner over the lolly stick

    Step 4

    Now twists each pipe cleaner over the lolly stick to make the eight legs.

  • Make sure the pipe cleaners are tight

    Step 5

    Make sure you pull the pipe cleaners tight around the lolly stick, don't worry about the shape you can adjust that later.

  • Getting the googly eyes ready

    Step 6

    We used some old carpet tape to make the googly eyes very sticky or you could use a glue gun.

  • Putting the eyes on!

    Step 7

    Now we stick our eyes in place and our spider is looking great!

  • Getting the spider into shape

    Step 8

    You might need some help to shape the legs but it was easy to bend and shape them.

  • Our finished Halloween spider looks great :)

    Step 9

    And we're done! Now we just have to wait for the Halloween night!
