Hi friends,
Last week I had Micah help me out with the New Year’s Eve noisemakers. But today’s craft is inspired by his upcoming birthday and requested party theme: Lego Spider-Man. Except there’s just not much to work with, in stores. It’s either Spider-Man party supplies or Lego, but not the two combined. So we’re having to be creative for his decor. We’ll share this easy craft for any Spider-Man theme and our decor ideas to incorporate the Lego part into it.
It’s also a great craft in honor of the new Spider-Man: No Way Home movie that was just released. Though I believe Micah is still too young for it, our eldest watched it and loved it! Check out our easy Spider-Man faces below.

What You'll Need
White Paper
Black, Red, or Blue Party Plates
Pencil
Black Sharpie
Scissors
Glue
Optional: Hole Punch, String
The Steps
We made 8 masks total for Micah’s 8th birthday(16 eyes). 1 paper makes 12 eyes/6 sets.
Fold your paper into thirds and then fold it into 4 sections.
Draw the eye onto 1 section, with one line slightly angled and the opposite side, a long rounded area.
3. Cut out the first section(3 eyes), trace 1 eye onto the other 3 sections, and then cut them all out.
4. Outline each eye, rounded edges out, with the black sharpie.
5. Glue each set onto the plates at a slight outer angle.
That’s it!!
Optional: You can punch holes on each side and run some string through them for easy hanging.
These are super easy to make! We can’t wait to use them for Micah’s birthday decor. A few decor ideas are listed below.
LEGO SPIDER-MAN DECOR
Spider-Man faces
Dollar Tree “Lego” baseplates- in appropriate colors(paint if necessary) to decorate the walls with and gift/use later.
Dollar Tree “Lego” people- paint red, blue, or black.
White/black yarn or party streamer to create a web on the wall or across the room.
Make your own superhero action words with poster board and markers.
Create a Lego cutout from cardboard, then paint it in red, blue, and black to mimic the Spider-Man Lego character.
Lego cake: make a square cake, when cooled lay 4 Hostess Ding Dong cakes on top, and frost the entire thing(white frosting with dye to color it or any kind the child prefers).
Happy crafting and Happy New Year!
Amanda and Naomi
