Ask on adult to slice off the bottom of the Styrofoam ball
so it stands on end. Paint it black. Let dry.
Make a pompon by wrapping yarn around
a 5" Square of Cardboard at least 100 times. Cut a 6" piece of yarn and slide it under wrapped
yarn. Tie tightly into a double knot. Turn floppy over and cut completely through yarn on
this side. Turn yarn blob sideways and smooth down strands.
Cover the top and sides of the painted Styrofoam ball with
tacky glue. Separate the strands of the pompon to fit the Styrofoam ball up inside. Press
pompon into place. Arrange yarn. Trim.
Tie a piece of round elastic to the middle of the hair pin.
Coat the ends of the hair pin with tacky glue. Push it down into the top of the Styrofoam
ball. Tie the other end to the end of a dowel.
Cut pipe cleaners in half. Bend to shape legs and push them
into the spider body. Glue on wiggle eyes.
