Step 1

Use a soldering iron to create a small hole in the top of each shot glass.

Make sure the holes are large enough for the globes on your string lights to fit through.

Step 2

Spray paint the shot glasses black.

Step 3

Use hot glue to attach 2 googly eyes to each of your shot glasses.

Step 4

Cut your black pipe cleaners into 2cm segments. Bend each segment into a shallow ‘v’ shape.

Step 5

Glue 8 shallow ‘v’ shaped pipe cleaner segments to each shot glass. There should be 4 on each side. These will be your spiders’ legs.

Step 6

Attach the spiders to your string lights by inserting the globes through the holes you created in Step 1.

If the globes start to slide back out of the holes, tie a spare piece of pipe cleaner around the top of each globe to secure the spider in place.

There you have it - your very own DIY spooky spider lights ready for decorating your home.

This project is a great one to get the kids involved with - they can help attaching the spiders’ google eyes and legs, and they’ll get a kick out of seeing their handy work hanging up on the porch, all ready for the 31st!

Happy Halloween! ? ? ? ?
