Jingle Bell Spider CraftHalloween Arts and Crafts
This jingle bell spider craft is a
beautiful Halloween decoration that is very simple to make, yet makes a
very elegant and classy statement. They are made from two
jingle bells, some pretty beads, and black pipe cleaners.
They look great hanging in a group or just strategically
placed along some of your Halloween dishes on the buffet table at your
party. These also make perfect Halloween ornaments is you
happen to decorate an all-occasion tree!
 Things Needed:
1. Begin the jingle bell spider by attaching the two jingle bells together. This is most easily done by taking a small length of wire and threading it between the two small hangers in each jingle bell, and wrapping it several times to secure. Use some jewelry pliers to help.   2. Cut each 12 inch pipe cleaner in two six inch sections, you will have four total.  3. Thread two pipe
cleaners through the front jingle bell, and two through the back jingle
bell, as shown below.  4. Thread on a bead on
to each of the 8 pipe cleaner legs, and thread it all the way up flush
with the jingle bell. You can use a little glue to secure if
desired. This keeps the legs from coming out of the jingle
bells.  5. Now, take your time
and bend each leg to look like a spider leg. Begin by bending
each pipe cleaner up from where it comes out of the jingle bell.
Then about halfway down make the pipe cleaner bend down.
Look at the photos for help. Then, thread on two
more beads on each leg. Secure the beads with a little bit of
glue, if desired. A cord can also be added around the middle
of the two jingle bells for hanging.
