Spider in a Box

[Donna's crochet Designs]

It is called a spider in a box for a very good reason:)

 

Just in time for Tricks or Treats!

 

The spider is attached to the underside of the lid to the box so when you open it, the spider "jumps" at you.

 

Happy Halloween!

Cut the 2 chenille stems in

half so you

have 4. Twist

together in

the center and

bend stems to look like legs.

Glue to bottom of spider.

Place some tissue in

your box. I used a

bakery box. I

though it kept more with the idea

of Trick or Treat!

Cut a small bit of eyelash

yarn. Attach this to the center

of the spider and the other end to

the top of the box.

Then give it to

A friend and watch

the fun!
