Place chopsticks on top of each other like above (an x shape with a line through it).

 

Step 2

Glue all the sticks together and then take some yarn and wrap it around the middle.  Glue all together in the middle again.

 

Step 3

Start wrapping the string around the chopsticks.  Make a loop around each stick as you create the web.

Step 4

Keep wrapping yarn or string all around the sticks like you see above.  Wrap the yarn around each stick as you continue the web pattern.  At the end tie a knot and glue to the end.

 

Step 5

Glue 2 black pom poms together… one big and one small.  Glue googly eyes on smaller pom pom.

 

Step 6

Cut 4 pipe cleaners in half.  Each half is a leg.  Bend each half into a letter Z shape and glue onto big pom pom.

Glue the spider on the web or tie a piece of yarn to it and attach to web.
