Egg Carton Spider Craft

Creating an egg carton spider craft is a fun and creative way to engage in a hands-on activity that is both entertaining and unique. By repurposing a simple egg carton, you can transform it into a spooky yet adorable spider, perfect for Halloween decorations or just a fun craft project any time of the year. Kids and adults alike can enjoy painting the carton, adding googly eyes, and crafting pipe cleaner legs to bring this little arachnid to life. Not only is this craft a great way to exercise your creativity, but it also encourages recycling and reusing materials in a playful and imaginative manner. So, grab some paint, glue, and a few pipe cleaners, and get ready to spin some web of creativity with your own egg carton spider craft!

For these Egg Carton Spiders, You’ll Need:

• Paper Egg Carton
• Black Paint or Black Spray Paint
• Glitter Paint or Glitter Glue (Optional)
• Paint brushes
• Black Pipe Cleaners or Chenille Stems
• Google Eyes – Small to Medium
• 1/16 in. round hand punch
• Scissors

Now:

• cut the egg holders out of the carton
• flip them upside down, and paint them black
• to add some sparkle…you can use glitter paint to go over the black, or glitter glue, as well
• while they are still wet, apply the eyes – they should stick on with ease – if they are having trouble holding, just wait until the paint is dry, and glue them on
• after the paint has dried use the hand punch to punch holes – 4 on each side of the spider, toward the bottom of the egg holders
• Cut pipe cleaners into 4 equal parts
• attach 8 pipe cleaner pieces to the holes, and bend to secure – shape the pipe cleaners into legs
