When Halloween is round the corner, the neighborhood kids have fun roaming about and gathering candies.
As these 'trick-or-treat' visits are mostly surprise, you may not be home when the children arrive.
No one wants to see them going back disappointed or playing pranks on their property.
Hanging candy holders outside the house before leaving, is a good idea that is gaining popularity.
The same candy holders can also be used when you are at home.
A spooky spider design is one of the best designs because of its simplicity and seasonal flavor.
Creating Halloween spider candy holders is an interesting activity, where the smaller kids can also be involved.
Preparatory material: • A large paper plate (preferably 9 inches in diameter) made of thick paper • Four black colored chenille stems or pipe cleaners • Acrylic paint - primarily three colors - green, black, & white • Orange colored construction paper • Markers • Gum • Pencil • Ruler • Sticky tape • Craft scissors Tips to make Halloween spider candy holder: • Basic structure: Paint the paper plate in uniform black color all over.
An alternative can be to obtain black card paper and draw a circle with 4.
5-5 inch diameter and cut it out.
Now, cut the paper plate or circle in two equal halves.
Each will have one straight and one rounded edge.
Use glue or a double-sided adhesive tape to stick the curved edge of the two pieces.
The final structure will be a semi-circular pouch opened at the flat end.
• Legs: This is the key step that completes the picture.
Spider is an eight-legged animal.
Therefore, we will require four pipe cleaners to be cut into half to form the four pairs of legs.
Pick a piece and bend around one inch from the end, at 90 degrees.
Perform the same step at the other end, but keep the bent on opposite side.
Align six pieces of pipe cleaners in this manner.
In the last two pieces, position one end in the same manner, while bend two inches at the other end.
Paste the six similar legs symmetrically on either side of the curved portion of the main body.
Position the remaining two around the centre of the curved rim with the larger bent pasted under the pouch.
• Finishing: Make large white eyes with white paper or paint and pupils in black.
Position them on the semi-circular part near the straight edge.
Make a smile using the green paint or a construction paper.
You can use ribbons, knitting yarns, or similar material for making the hanging support.
