 	 Time to get ready for Halloween Fun! Here is a fun project
for the kids, and best of all it's really affordable because you
	 can use materials you have around the house.  You can give
them to your guest at Halloween parties or just display them in
your 	 home or office.

 	 Adult supervision for this project is needed.

 	 Here's what you need:

 1 - tuna fish or cat food can (large or small size)

 Decrotive Halloween Wrapping paper or fabric scraps (Solid
colors, or decrotive is fine)>

 Craft Glue & tape>

 Pipe cleaners (for the legs)

 Wrapped halloween candies or a small gift

 Note: You may want to use a metal file to remove any metal
shavings or sharp edges for safty precautions



Here's what you do:

 Remove the label and wash can thurouley.

 File down any sharp edges around the top of can.

 Cover the can with fabric or paper and spot glue around entire
can. and glue fabric/paper at top down inside the edge portion
of the can.

 Cut pipe cleaners in half at even lengths (however long you
want the legs) and glue or tape to each side to make legs (Four
or Five on each side).

 Make bends in the legs, Make a small bend at the top of the
leg, then make even a smaller bend at the bottom part of the leg.

 This next part is where your imagination needs to come into
play.

 You can draw, paint, use construction paper or other objects
around the house to make the eyes and mouth of the spider.

 You can purchase the funny moveable eyes at the craft stores,
or you can even use small buttons you may have around the house.

 Whatever you do, be creative!

 Next is the easy part.

 Simply fill the Halloween Spider candy dish with your favorite
wrapped candies, or small toy prizes/gifts.

 That's It!
