Halloween Craft: Hairy Mini-Spider Project

Using this simple craft project, you and your kids will be able to make dozens of these Halloween miniature hairy spider crafts. All you need for this Halloween craft project is black chenille stems. If you like, you can make lots of these little spiders in wild and crazy colors, like pink, green and orange.

Halloween Hairy Spider Craft Project

Cut off about a quarter of one chenille stem. Take the remaining chenille stem and wrap it around the shorter piece, so that the end sticking out is the same length as the other legs. After wrapping the chenille stem securely so it stays in place, cut it off. Your hairy spider should now have four legs.

Repeat this process until your hairy spider craft has eight legs. Then bend each leg at about a ninety degree angle so that the hairy spider can stand up on her own. Then place your hairy spider and her sisters all over a spider web.

Halloween Spider Web Craft Project

Take three chenille stems of any color. Wrap two of them together at the middle, forming an X. Wrap the third chenille stem in the same manner, making sure that all of the arms are the same length. Tie some thread, yarn or string on one chenille stem, close to the nexus in the middle of the stems. Then wrap it around the chenille stems in a spiral pattern. When you reach the outside of the spider web, tie off the end. Glue your hairy spiders onto the web.
