Supplies For Your Spider Popsicles Halloween Treats
You really don’t need much to make these Lollipop Spiders.
How to Make Lollipop Spiders – Halloween Treats
1 – Cut a small square from the black bin liner. Ours was about 10cm x 10cm. Wrap it around the lollipop and fasten it underneath with a pipe cleaner. The pipe cleaner will make your first two legs. (Half for each leg.)
2 – Trim off any excess plastic bin liner and continue wrapping around 3 more pipe cleaners to make 8 legs in total.
3 – Bend the legs to your desired shape and if you fancy stick on some googly eyes too. You can even add a little paper mouth if you fancy. My boys loved adding little fangs to theirs. So cute!
4 – It is possible to use one whole pipe cleaner for each leg to make a longer legged spider. And of course you can go as crazy as you like with those googly eyes!
Don’t these Spider Lollipops make fun Halloween treats? Sometimes simple is best don’t you think?
