Directions:

• Measure about 1″ from the edge of the toilet paper tube and mark all around.

• From this mark, measure about 1/2″ segments, all around the paper tube, then draw lines to the other end of your tube.

• Cut these segments and keep only 8 (4 on one side, 4 on the other). These are the spider’s legs.

• Bend the segments to resemble spider legs.

• Crumple some toilet paper and fill the tube (this will be the body)

• Paint in black and leave to completely  dry.
• Glue some googly eyes on.

• Spread your spiders all around the house or hang on your front door.
