  1. Start by cutting the crepe paper into squares, we have found about the size of a postage stamp is the best size for this crafty project!
  2. Next spread the PVA Glue all over the cup in a thin layer
  3. Take your pre-cut crepe paper and stick them all over the cup until it is completely covered – leave it to dry for a while
  4. Add the Wiggly Eyes towards the bottom half of the cup – remember to leave some space for the scary mouth!
  5. Bend a Craft Stem into the shape of a scary mouth (if it is too long just cut it in half), we have used a yellow one but the choice is yours! – when it is scary enough stick it on your cup
  6. Next you need to bend the 8 Black Craft Stems into the shape of spiders legs – take a look at our picture above to see exactly what we mean….
  7. Cut 4 slits on either side of the bottom lid of the cup/yoghurt pot and secure your 8 spider legs into the slits
  8. All finished …. one Scary Spider Cup ready to spook people on Halloween!!!
