Well, our Thanksgiving is over so it is time to move on to Halloween!! I am starting to bring out the Halloween decorations today and have been working on a couple of new things to add to the collection. I don’t really like the gory Halloween decorations but I do like to get a little spooky {in a cute way!} So… please welcome our new spider family!
Materials
- black yarn {both regular yarn and some fuzzy yarn}
- styrofoam balls {2 or 3 inch balls for the smaller guys and a 4 inch ball for the Mom}
- black pipe cleaners
- buttons
- black felt {I used about 8 8.5×11 sheets}
- straight pins
- wooden skewer
Directions
- For the baby spiders, just wrap your styrofoam ball with yarn, pop in the pipe cleaners for the legs, and add the buttons for the eyes.
- For the body of the larger spider, I cut off a bit on the bottom of the large styrofoam ball to make it flat so that he would sit nicely. I then cut out a bunch of felt circles, folded them in half twice, and pinned them to the ball {you can find more details from my ruffled pumpkin tutorial here} I found that it was easier to add the legs first and then pin the circles around them.
- For the head, I just wrapped a smaller ball with yarn and stuck it to the body with a wooden skewer.
So what about you? Do you decorate for Halloween? I didn’t really used to do much but it is kind of a fun holiday to decorate for and the kids love it!
These are about the cutest spiders I’ve ever seen! They almost look cuddly! Halloween is my favorite, so much decorating is happening here!
