Introduction
Halloween is a time of year where we can let our creativity run wild and dress up as anything we want. One popular costume that never goes out of style is the spider costume. It’s creepy, crawly, and perfect for the spooky season. In this article, we’ll show you how to make your own spider Halloween costume DIY style.
Materials
Before we get started, let’s go over the materials you’ll need to make your spider Halloween costume. You’ll need black leggings, a black hoodie, black gloves, black socks, black pipe cleaners, black pom poms, and hot glue.
Step 1 – Legs
To make the spider legs, cut eight pipe cleaners in half. Take one half and fold it in half again. Twist it around the middle of the first half to make a “V” shape. Repeat this process with the other half of the pipe cleaner to make another “V” shape. Attach the legs to the black socks by wrapping the ends of the “V” shape around the socks and securing them with hot glue.
Step 2 – Body
For the body, take a black hoodie and stuff it with newspaper or stuffing to give it a round shape. Attach four pipe cleaners to the back of the hoodie with hot glue. These will be the spider’s back legs.
Step 3 – Eyes
To make the spider’s eyes, take two black pom poms and glue them to the top of the hoodie. You can also use white paint or a white marker to draw on eyes if you prefer.
Step 4 – Arms
To make the spider’s arms, take four pipe cleaners and fold them in half. Twist them around the middle to make an “M” shape. Attach them to the black gloves with hot glue.
Tips
– Don’t have black pipe cleaners? You can use black electrical wire instead. – Want to make your spider costume glow in the dark? Use glow-in-the-dark paint on the eyes and legs. – Make sure to let the hot glue dry completely before wearing your costume.
Conclusion
With a little bit of creativity and some simple materials, you can make your own spider Halloween costume DIY style. Don’t be afraid to make it your own and add your own personal touches. Have fun and Happy Halloween!
