Craft: Spider Pencil

Spider Pencil

Spider Pencil

Here's a quick and easy project your kids will love. Use the pencils as party favors or to make homework less of a chore.

Crafting Time: approximately 30 minutes

Materials

  • Pencil - old or new
  • Black pom-poms - 1, 1 inch and 1, 1/2 inch for each spider
  • Two small wiggle eyes
  • Thick craft tacky glue or a low-temp glue gun to be used with adult assistance

Instructions

Cut 4, 4 inch pieces of black pipe cleaner. Glue the center of each piece to the eraser of a pencil to create eight legs. Wrap the rest of the eraser end in the remaining piece of black pipe cleaner and glue the pipe cleaner into place. Glue a 1 inch black pom-pom to the top of the pencil for the spider body. Glue the 1/2 inch black pom-pom to one side of the body to make a head. Glue wiggle eyes to the head. Bend the pipe cleaner pieces to shape the legs and feet.
