Supplies needed:

  • paper bowls
  • black pipe cleaners
  • black acrylic paint
  • fine glitter in assorted colors
  • googly eyes in various sizes
  • small hole punch
  • yellow construction paper
  • glue stick & school glue
  • scissors

First, paint the underside of the paper bowl black. This is now the top and body of the spider. Once dry, punch 4 holes on both sides for the spider’s legs. Cut 2 pipe cleaners in half, then cut in half again so there are 4 legs from one pipe cleaner. Slide just a bit of one end through the hole, fold, and twist in place. Bend the other end.

Apply a generous layer of the glue stick to the top of the spider’s bowl body. Carefully spread glitter, covering all the glue. Tap off excess. With regular school glue, randomly apply different sizes of googly eyes.
