How To Make This Colorful Spider Web Craft

Step 1

Cut 4 strips into both sides of the toilet paper roll and push them up. Cut the lip between the 2 sets of legs. This is your spider stamp.

Step 2

Make 3 straight lines from the corner of your canvas. Fill in the lines with curved lines.

Step 3

Layer the glitter. We did red, gold, green, and blue glitter.

Step 4

Dump the excess glitter off.

Craft Note:

We saved the excess and put it in a jar for later use.

Step 5

Dip your spider stamp in paint and stamp it on the paper. Paint in the parts of the legs that may be missing some paint.

Step 6

Use the glue to make a line down to the spider. Add more glitter. We used clear holographic glitter.

Step 7

Paint white and red eyes on the spider and you’re done.

How To Make This Spider Craft Your Own

Just like all our other crafts you can make this spider web craft your own by changing things up. You can do things like:

Use glitter glue pens instead of glue and glitter
Use one color of glitter
Use a spider sticker instead
Glue a plastic spider on the canvas
Put googly eyes on the spider instead of painting eyes on
Make a specific type of spider by changing the paint
Use a white canvas instead of black
Paint the white canvas a different color
Use different colors of glitter
Use yarn instead of glitter

Our Experience With This Spider Web Craft

It’s almost Halloween time and while may family doesn’t really do Halloween we still like some of the crafts and fun stuff. Like this spider web craft that could be used as a Halloween craft or made just because.

Honestly, the real appeal was the glitter. We love glitter in this house…well, except for my husband. But the rest of us do!

And the spider is super cute and fun to make, but does require a bit of a touch up sometimes. But we home your family has as much fun as mine did making this colorful spider web craft.
