What can you make out of a few Styrofoam balls, black pipe cleaners, black paint, construction paper and glue?
Spooky Spiders! A Halloween craft that is easy on the wallet and takes little time to do too. Purchase these few materials, if you don’t have them at home already, and enjoy making these creatures. Using paint brushes, paint two coats of black paint on the Styrofoam balls. One trick is to mix regular white glue into the acrylic, washable paint so that it adhere well to the Styrofoam. After the balls have dried, place black pipe cleaners into different areas of the Styrofoam ball. You can cut them short or leave them long. Use construction paper and/or googly eyes to create spider faces.
Hang these from your ceiling or nestle them into a golden cauldron as displayed here. They make for an easy afternoon Halloween craft and quite a spooky decoration this season!
If you are pressed for time, or would like to do this type of craft project in multiples for a kids Halloween party, check out the selection of spider-y crafts at Oriental Trading Company.
