You will need:
- Modelling Wire
- 1 Medium Polyball
- 4 Small Polyballs
- Google Eyes
- Pipecleaners
- Paint
Instructions:
- To create the spider’s legs, cut eight 30cm lengths of wire. Then measure 10cm into each length of wire and bend it.
- The larger polyball will be the spider’s body. Take one wire leg and push the shorter end down into the polyball. Leave a small space and repeat with the next leg. Repeat with the remaining legs, keeping them evenly spaced and leaving a few centimetres free at the front for the spider’s face.
- Cut the smaller polyballs in half and attach one to the bottom of each leg.
- Cover all the joins with masking tape to make sure the wire stays in place.
- Paint the polyballs and wire black and leave to dry.
- Stick some google eyes on the spider’s face. We also used pipecleaners to give our spider big furry eyebrows and a smile!
