Halloween Decorations: Spiders
DIY projects for Halloween, Make your own Spiders. A cheap an easy project. (10/29/2008)

Most of Halloween decorations and crafts are easy to make. Halloween is basically a DIY holiday. Here are the instructions how to make spiders.

Simple Spider
Material needed:

Cut in half both pipe cleaners, so you get four 5-inch long.



Making a Tarantula

Use the piece of newspaper, make a small ball and wrap it with the black plastic. Cut the excedent material.


Twist three pipe cleaner pieces securing the black plastic. Use the 4th one to make the Tarantula's head.


Bend the legs (Not yours! I'm talking about the Tarantula's legs!) and your tarantula is ready. Glue the craft eyes (optional).


Colorful Halloween Tarantula
A.k.a. Tiger Tarantula.



Twist one black pipe cleaner and one yellow pipe cleaner. Repeat for all pipe cleaners.
Some crafts stores sell the striped pipe cleaners, but are expensier than the regular ones.

Make a loop exactly where all pieces were twisted. Make another twist to be sure it holds together.


Bend each Tarantula's leg to give the right shape. Glue the craft eyes (optional) and you have a crazy & colorful tarantula for decoration.


With less than one buck (dollar) you get a nice DIY craft. I hope you enjoy it.
