you will need;
- black construction card
- scissors
- crazy eyes (from a craft store)
- glue
- coloured pens or crayons (optional)
REMEMBER IF YOU ARE UNDER 8 YEARS OLD OR HAVE TROUBLE USING SCISSORS ASK A RESPONSIBLE ADULT TO HELP AND USE SAFETY SCISSORS.
STEPS;
1. Cut two circle/oval shapes from your black construction card one must be bigger than the other this will form the body and the head of your spider.
2. to create the legs cut 4 long strips of card they need to be at least 4 times the length of the spiders oval body you could if you wanted more sturdiness opt for black pipe cleaners instead.
3. glue the round head onto the oval body. only overlap them slightly but enough to give a firm hold.
4. glue the legs onto the body be careful to line the legs up exactly in the middle you may wish to measure the length of the legs so that it is even. use a pva glue if you are using pipe cleaners dutch tape also works.
5.flip the spider over so that the legs are now underneath then bend each leg in the middle to create it's joints.
6. crease a hinge between the legs and the body so that the spider can stand.
7. the spider should be able to stand fiddle with it a bit so that it can you may need to trim individual legs that are a little too long.
8. finally add some eyes to your spider. spiders have more than two eyes did you know some species have up to 8. but you can add as may as you want. if don't have eyes to stick on try drawing some on with crayons or a correction fluid pen ask for an adults help when using correction fluid.
