Spider Placemats

These make a cute, but super easy Halloween craft.

You will need:

• Construction Paper (I used black for the base and yellow for the spider)
• Glue
• Contact Paper
• Pen, optional
• Scissors
• Paper or plastic bowl
• Thin white string or thread

Directions:

1. Pour some glue into the bowl and set off to the side.

2. Cut off desired length of string. This will make the web.

3. Dip string/thread into glue and run between your fingers to get off the excess.

4. Place string around the piece of paper to create the web.

5. Cut out a spider and glue onto the web. I have a stencil below if you would like to use it. Optional: draw on a eyes or a face on the spider. (Higgins did not like the feel of the glue on his fingers, so we don't have a very large web, but it can be any size you want!)

6. Let dry.

7. Once the glue has dried, cover front and back with contact paper to make a placemat for lunch! Try to squeeze out extra air bubbles and trim off any excess.
