Attach Base + Create Eyes
Attach the glittered ball to the wooden round with hot glue and let it dry (Image 1). Push a toothpick halfway through each of the small white foam balls, then stick them into the large glitter ball to form the spider's eyes (Image 2). Finish the details on the eyes with the black acrylic paint (Image 3).

Make Eight Little Legs
Push the pipe cleaners into the Styrofoam ball and bend to form the legs. If you want to make them extra creepy, twist two of the pipe cleaners together (Images 1 and 2). Display these cute spiders inside or out for creepy-crafty Halloween decor (Image 3).
![The legs can be made from the fuzzy bump pipe cleaners. Tip: If you want to make the legs extra creepy twist two together. Push the pipe cleaner into the styrofoam ball and bend to form the legs. These are the cutest spiders! You could always make the spider web featured in the how to video that would create a spooky backdrop for these Halloween celebrations.](http://hgtvhome.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/hgtv/fullset/2017/9/12/original_PopFizz-Halloween-DIY-Spiders-bending-lets.jpg.rend.hgtvcom.616.462.85.suffix/1505221496671.jpeg)
