Clara surprised her big sister with a creepy crawly placemat this afternoon!

Here’s how to make your own creepy crawly placemat (in 5 easy steps!):

Step 1:

Wear your fanciest sunglasses and a pearl necklace. Rejoice! You have been given a black marker and construction paper!! Life is good.

Step 2:

Draw your spider webs! Perhaps your spider was drunk, or maybe he suffers from seasonal allergies which caused him to sneeze a lot while he was spinning his web. Yes, that would explain it.

Step 3:

Use the bottom of an egg carton cup dipped in black paint to stamp the bodies of said spiders.

Step 4:

Let a grown-up take it from here. Allow paint to dry completely, then add legs to each spider. Arrange your spiders between two sheets of clear contact paper.

Step 5:

Surprise your big sister with a new placemat when she comes home from school!!!

Have fun!!
