I really appreciate it Ann. Thanks
Here’s a photo from Pintrest, but I’d use 2 different sized balls. Looks like pipe insulation with black duck tape at joints. Can’t see how it’s attached maybe thread rope through and tie at neck? The balls would be smoother,and less work from trying to stuff it to right size.
I used black trash bags and tape foam pieces for the eyes...so very simple first determine the size of spider you want...i used 2 big black trash bags...i cut one in half and used the still closed side and stuffed it with newspaper...tissue paper anythin the will ball up and not ne to heavy...i also hVe used a balloon and punch ball toy then wrapped it with the trash bag and taped it closed..then i use a piece of fishing string and hung it where i wanted it..then i cut strips the other trash bag and left over piece...8 strips of course..then i taped them on the body...added the eyes and he was done..i then spread the legs out where i wanted them and used tape or push pins to hold them in place...i added web from the dollar store behind it and he turned out great..sorry no pictures since i did it several years back before computers...lol.....
