Instructions

  • Get the orange construction paper and cut a circle shape for the background of the paper plate.
  • On the upper portion of the paper plate, place pink beads.
  • On the upper right corner of the plate, draw a spider web with a marker and attach the slightly shredded white cotton on top of it and place pink beads directly on top of the cotton.
  • With the black acrylic paint, color the brown beads then connect two of the beads together using glue. Make three of those.
  • To create the legs of the spiderlings, cut six rectangular figures using black construction paper. cut three vertical lines without meeting the ends and slightly fold in the middle and attach them to the black beads then place them on the lower part of the paper plate.
  • Using black construction paper, cut three circles decreasing in size and cut out larger legs just like how we did on the last step. Assemble them to represent an adult spider and place it on the left side of the paper plate.
