Clay Pot Spider
Make this cute spider using a terra cotta clay pot and a few other supplies.

Materials Needed:
  • 1 1/2 inch Terra Cotta Clay Pot
  • Black Pipe Cleaners
  • Wiggle Eyes
  • Paint
  • Clear Acrylic Sealer Spray
  • Glue (hot glue gun preferred)
Instructions:
Wipe down your terra cotta pot with a damp cloth and let dry completely.

Paint the clay pot black. Once the paint is dry, turn the clay pot upside-down and paint a mouth and eyes on it (figure 1) - you can use wiggle eyes if you like. Once all your paint is dry, spray it with the clear acrylic sealer.

Cut 4 pieces of pipe cleaner, each about 5 inches long. Glue four on each side of the spider (figure 2).

Once the glue is dry, bend the pipe cleanes for the desired effect. Your clay pot spider is now done!
