Scary Spiders Spinning Webs

Craft Project Directions:
Take a white paper plate and set it aside. Next take a piece of black construction paper and cut thin black lines from it. Lay the lines over the paper plate crisscrossing them to create a scary spider web.

For your spider, take four black pipe cleaners and attach them at the center, bend each to make 4 scary looking spider legs, and bend the ends to create spider feet. Take a piece of black tissue paper and fill it with cotton balls and tape it shut to create a black spider body.

Rest and tape the body onto the legs and then add eyeballs, fangs, and other scary spider attributes.
