Instructions for this Easy Pipe Cleaner Spider
1. Make the Legs
Gather four black pipe cleaners and bunch them together evenly. These will form the spider’s eight legs.
2. Wrap the Body
Take a fifth pipe cleaner and wrap it tightly around the middle of the bundled legs 2-3 times. This secures them in place and starts to form the spider’s body. You should now have four legs sticking out from each side.
3. Trim the Legs
If the legs are too long, trim them down to a manageable length. You want them short enough to be wearable as a ring but long enough to bend into shape.
4. Shape the Legs
Bend the last third of each leg downward so the spider can stand. Adjust them to make the spider look like it’s perched and creepy-crawling.
5. Finish the Body and Form the Ring
Take the fifth pipe cleaner and wrap it a few more times around the middle to bulk up the body. Leave about 2 inches unwrapped.
6. Make the Ring Loop
Use the unwrapped end to form a small loop under the spider’s body. This will be the part that slips onto your finger. Wrap any remaining piece of the pipe cleaner around the spider’s body and carefully tuck in the end to prevent it from scratching.
7. Secure the Loop
Twist the end of the loop once to secure the shape.
