2 minute spiders for Halloween

Tonight is Halloween and probably there are many more of you busy parents out there scrambling to find quick decorations. So I'm sharing the spiders I just made. Of course if you can make them in 2 minutes they are not going to be very detailed, however the effect is there.

For a basic spider all you need is 4 black, long pipe cleaners.

Bend the pipe cleaners in half to identify the middle

and then twist in the middle twice to secure the cleaners together.

Next take a "leg" from the right hand side and bend it diagonally over to the left hand side. Do this with all legs moving them from left to right and right to left. This will form the body of the spider.

Next bend the legs down in the middle to a 90 degree angle and then bend the bottom to 90 degrees in the opposite direction (up). Viola... you have a spider.

If you have googly eyes stick a couple on each leg and if you like tie a thread to the middle so that the spider can be suspended from her web.
