How to make a DIY Halloween Spider

- Googly eyes
- Glue

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. The kids and your guests will be impressed!
