Paper Spiders for Halloween

I love the kooky, colorful side of Halloween.  For me, not everything has to be old bones and tombstones!  Here's a fun kid's project using old magazines, pipe cleaners and the best craft supply ever....GOOGLY EYES!  I made these for season 1 of my PBS show, Make Your Mark, which now has it's own YouTube channel!  Have fun this Halloween and don't forget to 
Make Your Mark!



Watch how to make them here!
STUFF I USED
Americana Multi-Surface Satin paints
Glue gun
Magazine pages
Pipe cleaners
Needle nose pliers and wire cutters (or old scissors)
White glue
Googly eyes
HERE'S HOW
1. Roll 4" x 8" magazine pages into tubes and secure the ends with white glue
2. & 3. Roll one tube to make the head of the spider and 3 tubes to make the body of the spider
4.  Hot glue a small roll and large roll together to make the body of the spider
5.  Paint the bodies in different colors
6. & 7.  Cut the pipe cleaners in half and glue 4 pieces on the body of the spider
8.  Glue googly eyes on the heads
9. Shape the pipe cleaners for legs
 Creepy cute!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
