Halloween-Spider-Favour-6

When you’re thinking of party favors for a Halloween party, you want something that’s sweet, but also creepy.

What’s creepier than having to break open a spider’s egg sac to get to the sweet treats inside?

Nothing!

These spider favors are easy to make, cost effective, and they definitely bring the gore-factor into your Halloween Party!

You will need: 3 bird nests, 12 black pipe cleaners, black acrylic paint and brush, hot glue gun, scissors, glad wrap and some lollies. I used popcorn because they looked more egg-like.

Time: 2 hours.

Step 1: Paint the bird nests black and leave to dry. I gave them two coats.

Step 2: Make the spider legs by folding 4 pipe cleaners in half and winding them through each other so they make a platform for the glue and the nest to sit on.

Step 3: Glue the nest to the legs with a liberal amount of hot glue and press down firmly. Once the glue is dry, fold up the end of the legs to make feet.

Step 4: Take the popcorn and the glad wrap. Measure out the popcorn into a square of wrap and then bring the edges together, twisting until the edge is firmly together.

Step 5: This is the part that makes it the goriest. Glue the bottom of the egg sac into the bottom of the nest. That way people will have to pull open the glad wrap to get to their treats!

If you’re feeling creative, why not paint a red stripe on the back of the spider and turn it into a redback? Or you can use white mints as the sweet filling to make them look more egg like!
