The Woman’s Day Kids’ Craft Magazine has pages full of boo-lightful Halloween Crafts.  Four of these craft pages are dedicated to fun spider activities.  After looking through these activities I decided there is a simple kids’ craft I’d like to share with our Bella Friends. 

 Muffin-Cup Spiders

Items you’ll need:

• Thin elastic cord (or black yarn)
• Large colored paper baking cups (find cups in purple, orange, black or Halloween print)
• Tacky glue
• Sewing needle (or paper clip {straightened out})
• Chenille Stems (black {add orange if you prefer two toned legs})
• Low-Temp Glue Gun
• 10mm movable eyes
• 2” length of 1/8”-wide red ribbon

Directions:

Tie knot at one end of desired length of elastic cord (or yarn).  Use needle to pull cord through center of one baking cup.  Apply thin line of glue along bottom outside edge of a second cup.  Then, press second cup inside first (with cord threaded through center).

Cut chenille stems in half and glue to inside of each side of cup (For two-toned legs: twist 2 colors of chenille stems together, then glue to cup).  Use tacky glue to attach movable eyes and ribbon for mouth.  Bend Legs.
