To make this craft just take the toilet paper rolls and cut out different eye shapes. Then, put a couple of glow sticks in the roll and duct tape the sides. Place around your home or outside in bushes to create some spooky fun.

 

3. Baby Spider Sacks – To make these creepy sacks stuff a white stocking with cotton and adorn with spiders. The spiders should stick easily to the stocking BUT you can use a glue gun to make them more secure. If you really want to amp up the scare factor use string or floss to hang a few spiders from the sack. You should be able to find a pack of spiders for a dollar at the dollar store so this scary project shouldn’t cost you more than $5!
