How To Make Pipe Cleaner Spiders

 

Difficulty level: Easy

 

You will need:

• - 6 black pipe cleaners
• - Googly eyes

 

Step 1: Twist two pipe cleaners together to make one long length and set aside.

 

 

Step 2: Wrap the long pipe cleaner around your index finger to create the spider’s body.

 

 

Step 3: Take the remaining four pipe cleaners and twist them together in the centre.

 

 

Step 4: Thread the four pipe cleaners through the hole in the centre of the body from step 2.

 

 

Step 5: Stick on some googly eyes. (Spiders have eight, but use some creative licence and stick on as many will fit).

 

 

Step 6: Bend the legs to make a ‘knee’ and ‘foot’ to finish.

 

​Tip: Tuck into a bun for a fun Halloween accessory!
