Large Black Yard Spiders

These spiders are a cool way to hide some of those falling leaves. And the nice thing is when Halloween is over you already have the leaves in a container you can use to transport them.

Supplies You Will Need:

Instructions:

  • Take one large trash bag and fill it almost full of leaves. You will need to leave enough room to tie the bag.
  • Take second large trash bag and fill it about half full of leaves. You will need to leave enough room to tie the bag.
  • Tie off the two bags of leaves.
  • Set them some in the yard that you have plenty of room. You will want to set the small bag in the front of the big bag. This will make the body and the head of the Spider.
  • On the small bag make eyes for your spider using pieces of the White/Silver Duct Tape and the Black Duct Tape.
  • Now you will need to make the legs. This is the hardest part. You will need to repeat the following instructions for each of the 8 legs:
    • Take a large trash bag and fold it in half lengthwise so that you will have a long tube. Tape the bag so that it will stay this way.
    • Fill the bag with leaves to create a long tube filled with leaves.
    • Lay the tube beside the body of the spider to make a leg.
    After all eight legs are in place you can position the legs to make the spider look more real. Have Fun.
