How to make a moving spider craft

What you need:

black construction paper
Googly eyes
paper straws
tape
glue
drag
wool (or other string, thread…)

Follow the step by step instructions (Video tutorial at the end)

Cut a circle (or oval) out of black cardstock.

We created this product by sketching around a glass cup with a pencil and cutting it out.

Cut 8 thin strips of black cardboard to make the spider legs.

Glue the legs to the black construction paper ring.

Take the straws and cut them into two pieces (they need to fit around the spider’s body).

Apply glue to the middle of the spider’s body and stick the paper straw in.

If it’s easier, you can thread yarn or string through the paper straws before gluing them on.
