Materials you will need:

To make the spiderweb, follow these simple instructions:
- Clean and dry 3 lolly sticks.
- Paint the sticks black and leave to dry.
- Glue the sticks together to make a star shape.
- Take a ball of wool and glue one end to the inside of the lolly sticks. Glue it in the centre back.
- Wind the wool around the sticks. Wind it over the top and under each of the sticks. Keep winding around the sticks.
- When you have wound it around about 6 or 7 times glue the wool to the back of one of the lolly sticks. Leave a tail.
To make the spider, use our Spider Making Kit or follow these simple instructions:
