  • Black Construction Paper

Ingredients

  • Paper Plate
  • White and Black Paint
  • Paint Brush
  • Marker
  • Black Paper
  • Glue Stick
  • Scissor

Instructions

  • Using white and black paint, create a gray shade by mixing them. Once done, paint the paper plate gray. Leave it to dry before moving on to the next step.
  • Create the spider by cutting one small circle and 8 strips of small rectangles using black paper. The circle will be the body of the spider and the rectangles will be their feet.
  • Use white paper to create the eyes by cutting two small circles then attach them to the assembled body of the spider. Use a marker to draw the pupils
  • Gently fold the tip of the feet of the spider upwards.
  • Attach the spider to the popsicle stick.
  • Using a marker, draw webmarks on the paper plate to complete the background. Make sure that the paper plate is dry before writing on it.
  • Create an incision along the lower edge of the paper plate. This opening will serve as the point where you can insert the popsicle stick, creating the illusion that the spider is in flight.
  • And you are now done! You've successfully crafted your very own Halloween Spider Paper Plate masterpiece.
