Materials:
8oz. White Glue
2 Bowls
Plastic Spoon
Balloon (11-inch in size)
Cheesecloth (cut into 3x18 strips)
Pin
Clear .7mm Bead 'n Stretch
Plastic Spiders
Instructions:
1. Emply the glue bottle into a bowl. Fill bottle 1/2 way with water and shake well. Pour into the bowl to dilute the glue. Stir well with plastic spoon.
2. Cut approximately 12 strips of Cheesecloth and set aside.
3. Inflate the balloon to about 9 inches tall and set in a bowl.
4. Individually dip the cheesecloth strips into the glue mixture and carefully squeeze out excess fluid. Lay the strips flat on the balloon, leaving a 1 1/2 inch opening around the knot. Continue this step until the entire balloon is covered.
5. Allow the balloon to dry completely.
6. Once dry, carefully pop the balloon with a pin and remove it.
7. Tie a loop for hanging the egg at one end of a long piece of Bead 'n Stretch. Near the top of the egg, insert the other end of the Bead 'n Stretch through the cheesecloth, then reach inside and pull it out through a nearby gap and tie a spider to it. Gently pull the Bead 'n Stretch back until the spider comes to rest against the inside of the egg. This will secure the Bead 'n Stretch.
8. Use more Bead 'n Stretch to create strings of spiders. To tie them to the egg, thread one end of the Bead 'n Stretch through the cheesecloth and out a gap, knot the Bead 'n Stretch, and pull the knot back inside the egg. Attach more spiders to the egg by poking several legs into the cheesecloth.
