1. To make the spider’s body, lay out a piece of corrugated cardboard with the lines going across. Draw an oval about the size of a bar of soap on it.
2. Cut out the oval, then push four pipecleaners through the zigzag gaps inside the cardboard unti l the legs on each side are equal lengths.
3. Gently scrunch a large piece of kitchen foil unti l it is about the same size as the oval. Squash it unti l the top is smooth, then glue it onto the oval like this.
4. Bend the legs out a litt le, then lay the spider on a piece of plasti c foodwrap. Rip lots of strips from black ti ssue paper and have them ready to glue on.
5. Brush a strip of ti ssue paper with white glue, then press it onto the spider’s body. Press on lots more strips of ti ssue paper unti l the whole body is covered.
6. To make the spider stand up, bend each leg into a curve. Cut eyes and fangs from white paper and glue them on. Draw black dots in the middle of the eyes.
The lines need to go across the oval, like this.
Cover the gaps between the legs, too.
You could bend the ends of the spider’s legs out to make feet.
To make a litt le spider, cut a smaller oval for the body and trim off the ends of the pipecleaners.
