simple halloween craft: spooky stone spiders

4.Once you’ve attached all four pieces of wire allow your adhesive to dry thoroughly. While you’re waiting, cut out a small round piece of black felt to fit on the bottom of your spider. You will stick this over the area where the wire attaches to the stone to cover it up.

5. With the pieces of wire attached you can now start bending an molding them to form the spiders legs. I took each leg and bent them straight up and then using my pliers bent them back down again {see photo below.} I did a little bit of adjusting to get the shapes I wanted and trimmed some legs that were too long.

6. Once you have the legs exactly how you want them you can start putting the finishing touches on your spider. I painted mine black with some acrylic craft paint, using spray paint would have been my first choice, but I didn’t have any available. Once you have your spiders painted you can leave them as is or you could even attach a few googly eyes.

These spooky little spiders will add a fun touch to your halloween decor and the best part is they are quick to make and cost next to nothing! Love me an inexpensive simple project, don’t you!?

Have a great Monday everyone!
