Welcome to our Craft of the Month for October 1999!

This month's craft celebrates Halloween!

Bottle Spider

Materials:
2 liter plastic bottle
white craft foam
black craft foam
4 black pipe cleaners
yarn or twine

Pour 1/4 cup of black paint into the 2 liter bottle, close lid TIGHTLY and allow child to shake it until the inside has been covered with paint. Let dry approximately 20 minutes. Poke 4 holes in each side and slide the pipe cleaners all the way through to form 4 legs on each side. To create the eyes, cut the white foam into diamond shapes, and the black foam into little circles. Glue the white foam on first, then put the black circles in the middle. If you want to hang it somewhere, you can drill a hole in the lid and put twine or a hook in the top.
