We are in Halloween craft mode over here! Earlier this week it was a spider treat and today it's a simple spider craft. These would be fun to hang with fishing wire, just about anywhere, to give a creepy (yet cute) vibe. :)
How to Make a Popsicle Stick Spider
Here's what you'll need to make your own:
Materials:
4 Popsicle Sticks
Black Paint & Brush
2 Googly Eyes
Pompom
White Glue
Step 1: Paint Popsicle Sticks
Here's a tip: Paint everywhere except where you're holding, to save your fingers. Let it dry, then come back and paint the unpainted spot.
Another Tip: Set your painted sticks on tinfoil to dry (not newspaper or you'll get paper stuck to them!)
Step 2: Glue Sticks Together
Space the sticks out as you like and glue them on top of each other.
Step 3: Add Pompom
Glue the Pompom on the middle of the sticks
Step 4: Add Eyes
Glue the googly eyes onto the Pompom and you're finished!
My kids are already coming up with more colourful, rainbow versions of these cute popsicle stick spiders! :) That's what happens when you keep the craft supplies out and available for your little creatives. ;)
