Scary Journey's Black Pom Pom Spider Craft

Back again with another easy Halloween craft.  This time we are making a black spider.

I found this craft on Enchantedlearning.com.  Click here to view the tutorial.  They have some great craft ideas.  Check out the rest of their website!

Let's get started:

Supplies Needed:

Black yarn
cardboard
scissors
4 pipe cleaners
google eyes
glue

These directions are taken right from Enchanted Learning's website. I did edit them a little with some changes that I made when making my spider.

Cut a piece of yarn about 2 feet long; put it aside for later. Cut a piece of scrap cardboard about 3 inches long and 2 inches wide.

Wrap about a yard or two of yarn around the rectangular piece of cardboard (don't wrap the yarn too tightly or it will be hard to take it off the cardboard).  *
*I would go 3 yards or more on this one if you want the spider head to be really puffy.

Lay your 2 foot long string down and place your 4 pipe cleaners on top.

Carefully remove the yarn loops from the cardboard (make sure the loops retain their shape) and place on top of pipe cleaners.
 
Tightly tie the 2-foot-long piece of yarn around the middle of the loops plus pipecleaners. Cut the yarn loops at their edges. Trim the pompom so that it makes a nice circle. Bend the spider's legs and glue on googly eyes.

Again, this is another great kids craft. Also makes a great girl scout Halloween craft.

Scary!
