Steps to Make the Spider Handprint Craft

1. First fold your black paper two times, like this:

2. Trace only 4 fingers (skip the thumb) and leave about 1/2 an inch from where the lowest cutting point will be. You don’t want to trace the whole hand since when you cut it out the body of the spider will be too big. Also make sure you are tracing on the part of the folded paper where the two folder sections are (so they will each turn into a spider). Otherwise you can trace your hand twice or just do one spider!

3. Now cut out your handprint. You should now have 2 spiders.

4. Draw spider webs on your orange construction paper with pencil or black pen. Add two web lines coming down for where you want to attach your spider handprints to.

5. Now carefully trace your web lines with the black glitter glue. Try to make a continuous line when you are tracing to avoid the glue from making glob marks on the page. Allow your black glue to dry overnight.

Note: These pictures were taken when the black glue was still in the drying process. Once dry the glue will settle a bit. 

6. Now glue on your spider handprints! Add your googly eyes and you’re done.
