Fun Fall Crafts

Spider Socks

These are really easy spiders to make, and they used up the socks that have been in the laundry basket for forever.

Supplies:

• sock
• pipe cleaners
• googly-eyes
• hot glue
• string or elastic string

To make:

• Roll the sock up all the way so that it makes a tight little bun, with the toe seam at the middle. 
• Poke a hole through the middle and thread a piece of string or elastic through the hole.
• Tie a knot to hold it there. 
• Take 8 black pipe-cleaners and bend them to create legs. 
• Hot glue these to the sides of your sock roll.
• Hot glue googly-eyes to the front of your spider. 
• Tie a hook at the top of your string, and hang up your spider! 

Fall Wreath

Supplies:

• Styrofoam circle
• fake leaves in fall colors
• small, red pom-poms
• glittery orange pipe cleaners
• hot glue

Directions: 

• Scatter the fake leaves all around the Styrofoam.  Try to mix up the yellows, oranges, and reds so that they're not all with the same colors.
• Hot glue the leaves to the Styrofoam.
• Hot glue the fake pom-poms around the Styrofoam to cover up the ends of the leaves.
• Twist the pipe cleaners so that they are like curly-ques.
• Stick them into the Styrofoam about 1/2" so that they will stay and will stick out and make it shiny.
• Use another pipe cleaner for the hook.  Twist it to make a loop and then hot glue the ends to the Styrofoam so that it will hold.
• Hang it on your door!
