Say hello to the newest addition to my Halloween arsenal… Giant Spider.
As you may know from prior posts, I’m a big fan of Halloween. Giant trash bag spider is going to up my game.
Materials List:
Black Trash Bag
4 Metal Hangers
Magazine Pages
Pool Noodle
Scissors
Instructions:
I started by cutting the pool noodle lengthwise into 4 parts.
Then I untwisted the wires on the four hangers and straightened them out. I cut the ends off to make the wire the length of each pool noodle.
I inserted the ends of each wire into the ends of each pool noodle.
Then I wrapped the 26 gauge floral wire around each pool noodle to secure the hanger wires.
I then wrapped the black duct tape around each pool noodle.
Once the noodles were wrapped, I overlapped them so there were four “legs” on each side.
I used the wire to secure them together.
To make the body of the spider, I crumpled up magazine pages to place inside the trash bag.
I filled a partial part of the bag to make the head.
I secured it with the wire.
I added more magazine pages to the bag and tied it off again to make the body.
I cut the excess bag off and covered the wire with a piece of black duct tape.
Then I secured the trash bag body and head to the pool noodle legs with the wire.
I bent the pool noodle legs so the spider could stand on his own.
My toddler was totally terrified (slight oversight), so I figure it’s a job well done.
