Supplies To Make A Tin Can Spider

  • Tin Can (with safe edges)
  • Black Acrylic Paint US / UK
  • Black Pipe Cleaners US / UK
  • UHU Glue US / UK
  • Googly Eyes
  • White Posca Pen US / UK
  • Tissue Paper
  • Candy

How To Make Tin Can Spiders

Tin Can Spider Craft step-1

Choose a tin can for your spider craft and paint it with black acrylic paint. You will probably need 2 or 3 coats to cover the tin can thoroughly. Your tin can be any shape and size you like but it’s really important that it doesn’t have any sharp edges! You can buy some tin openers like this one US / UK that claim to cut without leaving sharp edges. I haven’t actually tried one but they sure do sound good! Let me know in the comments below if they’ve worked for you.
Tin Can Spider Craft step-2

Cut your black pipe cleaners to the length you want to make eight furry spiders legs. Glue the spiders legs inside the tin can body. I found UHU glue worked really well for this and was fast to dry too.
Tin Can Spider Craft step-3

Finish off your spider craft by gluing on some beady googly eyes and drawing on a smile or grimace! I used white Posca Pen because it has such a great coverage and is so much easier than paint!
Tin Can Spider Craft step-4

If you are using your tin can spider craft as a Halloween treat holder then it looks really colourful and nice to line the inside with bright tissue paper too.
Tin Can Spider Craft step-5

Now you can get ready for Halloween by filling your tin can craft with all sorts of tasty candy!

Will you use your tin can spider for a Halloween treat holder like us or perhaps as a desk tidy?
