VTGirl had the idea to put a handmade spider in the window of our house and I thought that was great, with plenty of fake spider webs around it and a few pumpkins nearby. Then we went to Target and found a spider kit! It has huge, with 5 plastic bags which you’re supposed to fill with newspaper or leaves. We thought, Great! Our own black evil spider! I decided to make a face for it out of cardboard and a red bulb, and while I was working on that, VTGirl discovered that the plastic that made up the spiders body was a little thin and tore easily (which I relay to you as a warning if you go and buy this kit!). Packing peanuts might work better, but who has gallons of packing peanuts just lying around?

We worked very hard on it and I think the result is great. To see it in all it’s glory take a gander at this video.

Oh, and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!
