3. glue the 3/4” pompom on top
4. glue 2 googly eyes on the pompom
Ghosts (make 2)
1. place a cotton ball in the center of the white tissue paper square
2. gather the paper under the ball and tie a length of yarn around the
gathered spot
3. with a black marker, draw 2 eyes and a mouth on the “face” of the
ghost
4. shape the bottom of the ghost so it looks like it is flying
Bats (2)

4. punch hole in bat’s head and tie a length of yarn through the hole
Jack -o-lanterns (2)
1. pre-cut 2” x 4” strips of orange construction paper (2 per
mobile)

Baby spiders (2)
1. Cut 4 short pieces of yarn for legs
2. glue yarn across the 1/2” pompom so the legs hang over each side
3. Tie a length of yarn around the center of the spider with the knot at
the top
Putting it together
1.tie the lengths of yarn from the ghosts, baby spiders, lanterns and
bats to the ends of the legs of the big spider (the mobile is more fun
if the different elements hang at different lengths)
2. fold the tips of the pipe cleaners over the knots to make the
spider's feet
3. Open a paper clip to form an L
4. fit one end of the paper clip between the pompom body and the legs of
the spider
5. Tie a length of yarn to the other end of the paper clip and hang your
