How To Make Popsicle Stick Spiders
Place a dab of glue in the center of one popsicle stick, then lay another stick diagonally across the top to create a slight “X” shape. Repeat with the remaining sticks until all four are securely glued together to form the spider’s legs.
Next, hot glue a fluffy pom-pom directly in the center of the popsicle stick legs, then add a pair of creepy googly eyes to bring your little spider to life. That’s it! I told you this was easy.
This easy Halloween craft is great for preschoolers and older kids with a little help as needed with the hot glue gun. Make as many as you’d like and turn your house into a creepy-crawly spider invasion! Scatter them around the playroom, set them on shelves, or let the kids have fun hiding them in unexpected places.
