Today, I have two little spiders to share with you.
The inspiration for this project came from a picture my hubby drew a few month's ago. He is the Sales Manager of Cook's Pest Control and one of his sales men was talking to a customer about "Mr.Spider" and he thought it was funny and drew this little picture. I saw it and wanted to make him and a girl spider as well. Here is the picture he had drew.
I started out with 2 stryofoam balls that were 4 inches and 2 styrofoam balls that were 3 inches and spray painted them black. (The balls were put on skewer sticks to hold them up while being painted and drying).
Next, I used a small skewer stick and a small bit of hot glue to attach the smaller balls to the larger ones to make the spider's body.
For the legs, I used black pipe cleaners. I took 4 of these and cut them in half. Then, I took each half and placed it into the side of the larger ball and bent them down to make the legs.
I did this for both spiders on each side. Once the legs were finished, I hot glued a bow to the top for the girl and I hot glued a mini top hat that came from Hobby Lobby into the arm of the boy spider and bent it up towards the head. I also used hot glue to attach some google eyes to them.
Finally, I used a white paint pen to add a little mouth to each spider.
