I wanted to challenge myself to create a craft for kids to make. It needed to be easy to make with inexpensive materials. I was able to make this with stuff I already had around the house! This is cute enough that anyone can make it, but simple enough that it will make a great craft for a kids’ Halloween party!
Materials

- 20 Popsicle Sticks
- Black Paint
- Paint Brush
- 2 Sheets of Vellum Paper
- Black Marker
- Hot Glue Gun
- Hot Glue Sticks
- Battery Operated Tea Light
- Optional: Self-Sticking Spiders
Instructions
Step 1: Paint the popsicle sticks with black paint on all sides, allow to dry.

Step 2: Glue 4 sticks into a square. Repeat 5 times.


Step 3: Cut 5 pieces of vellum to fit the popsicle stick squares.

Step 4: Draw spiderwebs on each of the pieces of vellum.

Step 5: Glue the vellum panels to the backs of the popsicle stick squares.


Step 6: Glue the squares together at the edges.


Step 7: Add the optional spiders and set the lantern over a battery operated tea light.
