Bend four jumbo black chenille pipe cleaners in half to find the middle. Twist a regular black chenille pipe cleaner to connect all four chenille pipe cleaners, creating 8 spider legs. Trim off any extra.

Step 2

Arrange the ends into spider legs until you have eight evenly spaced legs.

TIP: Use the image as a guide.

Step 3

Slightly bend each leg by running your thumb along the chenille pipe cleaner. About ¼" [0.6 cm] from the bottom of each leg, make a 90° bend to create a "foot" so that the spider can stand.

Step 4

Bend a jumbo black chenille pipe cleaner into a round shape for a body. Bend another jumbo black chenille pipe cleaner into a smaller round shape for the head.

Step 5

Use a regular black chenille pipe cleaner to twist around and attach the head and body to the 8 legs of your spider.

Step 6

Twist a regular black chenille pipe cleaner around each of the pom pom eyes and secure the eye to the head by twisting the remainder of the regular black chenille pipe cleaner around the head. Repeat for the second eye.
