Materials Needed:
Lay the 4 pipe cleaners side by side, making the ends as even
as possible (figure 1). Put a generous amount of glue on the pom-pom just below where the yarn is tied and lay it on the center of the pipe cleaners (figure 2). Glue on the 2 wiggle eyes (figure 3). Set it aside until the glue is dry.
Instructions:
Cut a piece of yarn about 24 inches long (this will vary
depending on how long you want you puppet's string to be.
Tie the piece of yarn around the middle of the pom-pom, as
close to one end of the yarn as possible; trim any extra
off the short end of the yarn so it blends into the pom-pom.
Once the glue is dry, string the loose end of the yarn through the straw (it sometimes helps if you wrap a small piece of tape around the end of the yarn). Pull the end of the yarn through the straw far enough to tie it as show below.
Now, you can use the straw as a handle to make your spider jump and dance!
