So besides the Paper Plate Frankenstein craft I shared on Glued To My Crafts recently, today’s Styrofoam Cup Spiders kid friendly DIY is something you need to make with your child today!

Because clearly they both go along perfectly with Halloween and this time of year. Not to mention {gosh I say that a lot on the blog} but it’s just plain, easy fun to craft with your kid this afternoon!

No need to be spooked! Below is EVERYTHING you need to make your own spiders come to life today! So go ahead and grab those supplies now, as well as your cute kid and follow our tutorial today!

Happy crafting, my friends! #gluedtomycrafts

Styrofoam Cup Spider Craft Supplies:

* Styrofoam Cups
* Black Craft Paint
* Paint Brushes
* Paper Plate
* Black Pipe Cleaners
* Scissors
* School Glue
* Wiggle Eyes or White Circle Punch-outs

DIRECTIONS:

Set up shop where you can get a bit messy. Be sure to have baby wipes near by too!

First have your child paint their Styrofoam Cups completely black. Let cups dry completely.

While those are drying – cut your pipe cleaners into halves. Also, if you need too, make your spiders eyes {I made circle punches out of white construction paper and drew a dot in the middle of each one.}

To finish off your spiders – press the pipe cleaners into the cups and shape them a bit to look like spider legs. {The metal from the pipe cleaners make it so easy to stick them into the cups} Do this step also, to give the spider fangs. Then glue on the spider’s eyes and you are done!
