Supplies for Spider Craft

  • Pipe cleaners – We used fuzzy pipe cleaners for this craft which helped give the effect of fuzzy spider legs!
  • Scissors – you can use standard or blunt-tipped scissors.
  • Black pom poms – We used 2 inch poms, but you could use any size you like. Just adjust the leg length for the size of the pom pom.
  • Glue stick – You can use a glue stick or craft glue for this activity.
  • Novelty eyes – We used novelty eye stickers, but you could also use standard googly eyes for this activity!

How to Make Halloween Spider Craft!

  • Let’s begin by making the legs for our spooky spider! Grab 2 pipe cleaners and cut them in half. Then line them up horizontally. Pinch them in the middle and twist them a few times to secure.
  • Spread the pipe cleaner legs out equally. Bend each pipe cleaner about ¼ inch from the end to create “feet.”
  • Next, take a 2 ½-inch black pom pom and glue it to the middle of the legs to make the spider’s body.
  • Lastly, affix a set of adhesive novelty eyes, and your spider is complete!

That’s it! I told you this Halloween craft was easy with only three things needed!

Pro Tip

You can easily make these spiders different sizes by using smaller poms and cutting the legs shorter.
