| This is a fun spider wreath to do by
yourself or with a group.
If you are doing it with a group, each person can write something
spooky on one of the strips of construction paper
before making it into a loop.
MATERIALS:
- Ring of cardboard (empty cereal boxes work wonderfully)
- construction paper (black)
- scissors
- glue
- small piece of wool
|
|
- Trace a small plate and a large plate onto a piece of old
cardboard.
- Empty cereal boxes or frozen dinner boxes work well as a
source of recycled cardboard.
- It doesn't matter if you go over the folds of the cardboard
|
|
- Cut a small strip of cardboard and glue it onto the back of
the ring over any folds in the cardboard.
- This will reinforce the ring.
- Cut strips of construction paper (about 1 1/2 inches by 4
inches)
- glue the strips into rolls (like making a paper chain)
|
|
- Glue the rolls of construction paper onto the wreath. We
made them all black, but you could use black and orange or
black, orange and green.
|
- Fold a piece of black construction paper in half and cut out
a 1/2 spider shape (this will make the spider symmetrical).
Use white pencil crayon to draw on a face. This is what we
did
- OR: Use the template pieces below for the spider.
- Tape a small piece of wool to the spider and the wreath so it
hangs in the middle.
