Description
Create cute and spooky spider lollipops for Halloween. This easy DIY craft transforms regular lollipops into festive spider treats perfect for parties, trick-or-treating, or classroom activities. They are budget-friendly, kid-friendly, and add a touch of fun without being too scary.
Ingredients
- Wrapped lollipops (like Tootsie Pops or Dum Dums)
- Black pipe cleaners (4 per lollipop, for 8 legs)
- Small googly eyes
- Hot glue gun or craft glue
- Optional: Mini bows, stickers, glitter glue for decoration
Instructions
- Cut each pipe cleaner in half to create spider legs. You will need 8 legs per spider lollipop.
- Wrap the pipe cleaner legs tightly around the lollipop stick, close to the base of the candy. Twist them to secure.
- Bend the pipe cleaner legs outward from the stick to create a spider leg appearance.
- Glue two small googly eyes onto the front of the lollipop candy. Allow the glue to dry completely.
- Add optional decorations like mini bows, stickers, or glitter glue for extra flair.
- Let all glue dry thoroughly before packaging or displaying your spider suckers.
- Repeat the process for each lollipop to make your Halloween spider treats.
Notes
- For younger children, use craft glue instead of a hot glue gun.
- Always use individually wrapped lollipops for hygiene and safety.
- Pre-cutting the pipe cleaners can make the process easier and safer for kids.
- Consider using colorful pipe cleaners to match your party theme.
- Store finished spider candy in cellophane bags tied with ribbon for favors.
