Homemade Halloween Decorations to Make with Your Children

It can be a lot of fun to make homemade Halloween decorations with your kids. Not only will you be decorating your home, but you will be creating great memories to share with your children for a lifetime. Homemade Halloween decorations are inexpensive and easy to make. Below are some ideas that children of all ages can enjoy.

Hairy Spiders

You can create dozens of hairy spiders to place throughout your home. These hairy creatures are very easy to create.

Items that you will need:

Black pipe cleaners
Black pompoms
Red craft felt
Craft glue

The first thing that you want to do is create 8 spider legs with your pipe cleaners. Make them any size that you desire as long as they are all equal in size. Next, take two pompoms. Glue them together. One of the pompoms represents the body of the spider and the other pompom represents the head of the spider. Once the pompoms have dried, you can then attach the legs of the spider. Place the legs as desired around the pompoms to give the effect of a crawling spider. Glue the legs into place. After the glue dries, you can make two red circle eyes to glue to the face of the spider.

Make as many as you want and place them throughout your house. Have fun making different colored spiders as well. They are fun to attach fishing wire to and hang through out your home as well.
