Black Garden Spiders Craft

Halloween is almost here and all the decorations to greet trick-or-treaters are taking over front porches, windows and garages.  We wanted to add a little décor to our garden so when I saw these dried flower pods in the garden I shrieked with excitement.  I probably was way overdue on pruning but always love when a negative turns into a positive.

These brown pods look like furry little spiders to me.  You can watch the video here to see how easy they are to make.

All that’s needed:

• Dried flower pods from the garden or a nature walk
• Black spray paint
• Black pipe cleaners or other thin black wire to make legs
• Googly eyes
• ​Glue

Directions:

• Spray seed pods with black spray paint and set aside to dry. 
• ​Cut the pipe cleaners for the legs (4 per spider), twist them around the stem and shape. 
• ​Add the googly eyes using white glue and allow to dry.
