How to make disco ball spiders for Halloween

Here's how easy it is to make these disco ball spiders!

Supplies Needed:

• Small disco ball (mini or medium size)
• 4 metallic silver pipe cleaners
• Hot glue & glue sticks
• Scissors (optional, for trimming pipe cleaners)

Step-by-Step Process:

Step 1: Prepare the Pipe Cleaners

Gather 4 metallic silver pipe cleaners and align them together evenly. These will form the legs of your spider.

Note: for smaller spiders, cut the pipe cleaners in half before twisting together!

Step 2: Twist the Legs Together

Find the center of the pipe cleaners and twist them in the middle to connect.

This will keep all the legs together securely.

Step 3: Shape the Legs

Separate the eight legs by spreading them out.

Then, bend each pipe cleaner slightly to create a leg shape.

You can adjust the angles to make the legs look more realistic and creepy-crawly!

Step 4: Attach the Legs to the Disco Ball

Apply a small amount of hot glue to the bottom of the disco ball.

Carefully press the twisted center of the pipe cleaner legs onto the glue. Hold it in place until the glue sets.

Be very careful not to burn your fingers here!

Step 5: Secure the Legs

Top the connection with a little more hot glue to ensure the legs are securely attached. Let it dry completely.

Step 6: Final Adjustments and Display

Repeat, repeat, repeat. This is definitely they kind of thing that it's no extra work to make a bunch at a time!

Once dry, reposition the legs as needed to get the perfect spider shape.

Now you're ready to display your awesome Disco Ball Spiders!

These DIY Disco Ball Spiders are a super fun and simple way to add some sparkle to your Halloween decorations.

Whether you hang them from the ceiling, use them as table décor, or add them to a spooky centerpiece, they’re sure to catch the light and your guests’ attention!
