| Prep Time: About 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| Craft knife
Gallon milk jug Black duct tape 4 (6-foot) black foam pipe insulation tubes (1/2 inch diameter) 2 plastic eggs Green tape | |
| Seasons: Halloween | |
| Materials: craft knife, milk jug | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. | Use a craft knife (parents only) to cut off the spout of
the milk jug, then completely cover the jug with black duct
tape. |
| 2. | To create the 8 legs, tape the center of each of the 4 pipe
insulation tubes across the handle side of the jug. |
| 3. | Tape the tubes to the sides of the jug as well, to keep
them bent. |
| 4. | With scissors, cut and remove a 1-inch-deep notch from the
middle of each leg, then bend the insulation at the notches and
tape the bent joints in place. |
| 5. | For eyes, stick black tape pupils on the 2 broader ends of
a pair of plastic eggs. Tape the eyes in place on the jug.
Finally, decorate the top of the spider body with green duct
tape, and your oversize arachnid is ready to tape or tie in place
on a front porch or door. |
