Neon Spiders & Bugs

Hi friends,

We brought out the neon pipe cleaners for our Neon Spiders & Bugs craft and created a unique spider web.

This craft doesn’t take much, aside from making the webs, the spiders and bugs come together quickly. Check it out below.

SPIDERS

  1. Use two pipe cleaners and cut 1/4 to 1/3 off from one.

  2. Wrap the longer pipe cleaner around your finger three times, making sure the ends are even.

  3. Remove your finger from the coil, hold the base of the coil, and twist it twice.

4. Wrap the shorter piece around the base of the coil 2-3 times.

5. Wrap the ends around a surrounding coil and then twist the loop twice, creating butterfly wings.

6. Cut the center of each wing, position the legs, and press the coils down to flatten a bit.

Repeat for more spiders.

BUGS & WEBS

  1. Cut small pieces from the different pipe cleaners and set them aside.

  2. Turn your paper vertically and with the white pencil, draw the center point of the web with 8-9 thick connecting lines.

  3. Draw thick, curved connecting lines between each section.

ASSEMBLE

  1. Glue the spider and the little bugs to the web.

That’s it!


Happy crafting
