Halloween Craft Instructions

1. Put a tiny bit of craft glue onto the candy wrapper. Starting at the top, wrap the candy with purple yarn. I used some high end cotton, but inexpensive acrylics craft yarn (like this one here for 1 ct: Lion Brand Hometown Yarn ) will be just fine also. As an alternative, wrap the head in purple or black craft paper (try AstroBright).

2. Cut a rag pipe cleaner in half, and loop it around the little candy stick. Center that loop properly, as that is your spider’s body. Bend the ends of the spider legs. Remove the set of legs from the candy stick and wrap hairy yarn around it.

3. Make four of these, and string them onto the candy stick. If you wish, secure them with a bit of glue, so they stay on better.

4. Secure 2 googly eyes onto a tiny strip of paper and glue that onto the yarn head. I personally used a bit of folded over sticky tape and placed them both onto that little strip. Without the strip of tape or paper, the googly eyes won’t line up at the front of the face and a different facial expression results.
