What would Halloween or life, be without spiders? No itsy bitsy spider, no spider rings, no spider webs! Now you can fill your house with these fascinating eight-legged creatures, the fake kind, that is.

Afterward, you might want to research a thing or two about the real thing. Whether arachnids make shriek or smile, you'll be amazed at what you find out.

Step by Step:

1. Paint several styrofoam balls black and let dry. If you want the spider to rest completely flat, cut the ball in half before you begin.
   
2. Cut black pipe cleaners in half and insert eight pieces into the styrofoam for legs.
   
3. Glue on two novelty eyes.
   
4. Roll up the orange yarn into a small ball and glue on for the nose.
   
5. Attach a piece of black yarn to the back of each spider with a brass fastener. Hang from the ceiling or attach to a spider web made from black pipe cleaners.
