Ready to make your own Paper Straw Halloween Spider Decorations? 

WHAT YOU’LL NEED FOR THE SPIDER CRAFTS:

• • Styrofoam craft balls, 3 inch size
  • black and white striped straws, 8 per spider
  • googly eyes
  • hot glue gun or craft glue

HOW TO MAKE THE HALLOWEEN SPIDER CRAFTS:

1) Hot glue the eyes on to the styrofoam ball or “body” of the spider.

2) Bend the striped straws about ⅔ of the way down. These will be the legs.

You can also bend the legs after you know where you will put the spiders. Then you can make sure the DIY paper straw spiders will fit exactly where you want them.

3) Insert the “legs” into the styrofoam ball, 4 on each side. Then hot glue to secure in place. 

For smaller size spider crafts, cut the straws in half and use mini styrofoam craft balls for a whole collection of spiders sizes.

While you have the foam craft balls out, don’t forget to make some hanging ghosts, too!
